A retired space physicist has put together an impressive set of online science courses, with the help of friends but little support from NASA and other agencies.

I see they are beginning to draw on Uranus which happens to be my work
when it comes to planetary comparisons.Uranus gets rid of the old 'no
tilt/no seasons' ideology and sets the matter on a solid foundation
where a planet experiences an equatorial climate, a polar climate or
a mixture of both with the Earth's climate largely equatorial.

Maybe they should also steal the connection between the spherical
deviation of the Earth and the planet's magnetic field which is tied
in with an uneven rotational gradient in the rotating viscous interior
as an extension of the main area of study which meshes plate tectonics
with the 26 mile spherical deviation due to differential rotation.

How many more things will they eventually steal while at the same time
lament about funding - I did all it with my own time and money in the
most hostile environment imaginable.If they are going to use Uranus in
respect to the seasons,e-mail them and explain to them that the
Earth's axis precesses 360 degrees to the central Sun about a
traveling ecliptic axis - it takes nothing more than an imitation
analogy to discern the two axes of the Earth in order to make sense of
the seasons and why natural noon cycles vary.

The world needs a new breed of astronomers rather than another retired
physicist .
