GRAVITY keeps the moon orbitingEarth . . . and Dactyl orbiting Ida . . .
It holds starstogether . . .
Prevents planets
from losing their
atmospheres . . .
And binds galaxies together for billions of years . . .

All masses have same acceleration

Yet, patterns may be discerned . . .
• Planets remain near ecliptic – within Zodiac.
• Brightness changes in a regular pattern.
• Mercury & Venus always appear near Sun in sky.
• Mars, Jupiter & Saturn may be near Sun, but needn’t be.
• Planets travel eastward relative to stars most of the time,but sometimes they reverse direction & go west!
