A Map of the Solar System of the CR&A Universe

       When I've posted this map previously, I haven't gone into much detail describing it, but this time I will.

      The CR&A solar system is probably a bit different from yours.  There are eleven planets in this solar system, and they all have Greek names.  The innermost planet, Hephæstus, isn't much more than an extremely large rock that orbits the sun at a very high speed.  The outermost planet, Hecate, has an orbit that is well outside the plane of the ecliptic.  (I did the best I could to depict this three dimensional anomaly in a simple two dimensional image.)  The generally accepted theory to account for this is that 'she' traveled here through interstellar space, and was captured by the sun's gravity.  In this respect, she truly deserves to be called a planet, that is: a wanderer.  Also, there have been questions as to why a planet has been given the name of a goddess associated with Earth's moon.  There are a number of reasons.  As a goddess, Hecate is connected to many things considered to be mysterious. In this case, how, and when she came to this solar system, and from where.  She was also a resident of the Greek underworld, the domain of Hades, and Hades is her closest planetary neighbor.

      I've added this post at this time since my next one will contain a planetary reference that might otherwise be confusing.
