EXAMPLE 13. THE LARGE SATELLITES – THEIR MOVEMENTS SYNCHRONIZED WITH EARTH’S ROTATION.
There are Five Outer Solar System Planets:- Jupiter (which has Four Large Satellites), Saturn (which has Eight Large Satellites), Uranus (which has Five Large Satellites), Neptune (which has One Large Satellite), and Pluto (which has One Large Satellite). These satellites, as groups, have their movements synchronized with Earth’s rotation.
(A). The SUM of the orbital periods of Jupiter’s Four LARGE Satellites = 29.16389 Earth days. During this time period, Earth rotates (sidereally – ie:-in relation to the fixed stars) 29 rotations + a residual angle of 87.7 degrees.
(B). The SUM of the orbital periods of Saturn’s Eight LARGE Satellites = 128.007069 Earth days. During this time period, Earth rotates (in relation to The Sun) 128 rotations + a residual angle of 2.5 degrees.
(C). The SUM of the orbital periods of Uranus’ Five LARGE Satellites = 30.24715 Earth days. During this time period, Earth rotates (in relation to The Sun) 30 rotations + a residual angle of 88.97 degrees.
(D). The orbital period of Neptune’s single LARGE Satellite = 5.8768441 Earth days. During this time period, Earth rotates (in relation to The Sun) 5 rotations + a residual angle of 315.66 degrees.
(E). The orbital period of Pluto’s single LARGE Satellite = 6.38723 Earth days. During this time period, Earth rotates (in relation to The Sun) 6 rotations + a residual angle of 139.4 degrees.
Sample calculation – (A). (1.769137786 + 3.551181041 + 7.15455296 + 16.6890184) ÷ 0.997269663 = 29.2437 sidereal rotation of Earth. 0.2437 x 360 = 87.7 degrees. That is 29 rotations + a residual angle of 87.7 degrees.
(C). (1.4134840 + 2.52037932 + 4.1441765 + 8.7058703 + 13.4632423) = 30.24715 Earth days. That is 30 rotations of Earth in relation to The Sun + (0.24715 x 360) = 88.97 degrees.
When you depict each of these five residual angles as a (single line) radius, the five radiuses look like this:-
The material on this web site is also available in the book Astronomy - The Dishonest Science, by Roger Elliott (available on Amazon).
Once again, it is glaringly, blindingly obvious that these residual angles are NOT randomly distributed, as they absolutely SHOULD be if Newtonian Physics alone governed the movements of celestial bodies. (The gravitational field of Earth is insufficiently strong to alter or affect the rotation periods of distant satellites.) Once again, these residual angles all (mysteriously) “hug” the octants. “Something else” (other than Newtonian Physics) is influencing and dictating the movements of these satellites.
The statistical odds against all five residual angles “hugging” the octants so closely are in excess of 1 chance in 162. These odds are calculated in the following manner:-
The largest deviation from an octant is 4.4 degrees (Pluto satellite).
Number of trials = n = 5 and number of successful trials = r = 4 and the probability that any single specific trial will be successful = p = (4.4 x 2 x 8) ÷ 360 = 0.1955 and the probability that any single specific trial will be unsuccessful = 1 minus p = 0.8044
p(r ≥ 4) = 5C4 x 0.80441 x 0.19554 = 0.005875
+ 5C5 x 0.80440 x 0.19555 = 0.0003856
SUM = 0.0061606 or 1 chance in 162. In fact, the odds are longer than this, because some of the deviations from an octant are smaller than 4.4 degrees.
Here is the numerical data that you will need in order to verify the above. The name of each satellite is followed (in brackets) by its orbital period, expressed in Earth days.
Jupiter’s Four Large Satellites are:- Io (1.769137786), and Europa (3.551181041), and Ganymede (7.15455296), and Callisto (16.6890184)
Saturn’s Eight Large Satellites are:- Mimas (0.942421813), and Enceladus (1.370217855), and Tethys (1.887802160), and Dione (2.736914742), and Rhea (4.517500436), and Titan (15.94542068), and Hyperion (21.2766088), and Iapetus (79.3301825).
Uranus’ Five Large Satellites are:- Miranda (1.4134840), and Ariel (2.52037932), and Umbriel (4.1441765), and Titania (8.7058703), and Oberon (13.4632423).
Neptune’s Single Large Satellite is Triton (5.8768441).
Pluto’s Single Large Satellite is Charon (6.387230).
Earth’s sidereal rotation period (ie:- rotation in relation to the fixed stars) = 0.9972697 Earth days.
To verify numerical data, go to Appendix 2. Section 3 for Earth sidereal rotation. Section 12 for all large satellites, and Section 4 for Charon. (Note:- Numerical data verification is only available in the book.)
