Astronomy recognises this difference by saying that Saturn goes round the Sun in 30 years, the Earth in one year. We will not now stop to discuss whether these assertions are correct or whether they show a superficial view. We will only point to the fact that the observation which can be gained by following Saturn in cosmic space and comparing the rapidity of his progress with that of the Earth, brings us to the conclusion that according to the astronomical system of Copernicus and Kepler, Saturn needs 30 years and the Earth only one year, in which to go round the Sun. Looking at Jupiter, we assign to him a revolution lasting 12 years. Much shorter is that of Mars. And when we come to the other planets, Venus and Mercury, we find that they have even shorter periods of rotation than the Earth. All these conclusions are obviously well thought out, worked out on the basis of observations made in one way or another.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture Eleven","site_heading":"The Head's Cosmic Origins: Saturn, Venus, and Dimensional Thinking","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Dieser Unterschied ist dadurch für die Astronomie zur Geltung gekommen, daß man sagt, der Saturn kreise um die Sonne in 30 Jahren, die Erde in einem Jahre. Wir wollen uns jetzt einmal nicht kümmern, ob diese Dinge richtig oder falsch sind, ob sie eine Einseitigkeit darstellen oder nicht, wir wollen nur auf das hinweisen, daß eben die Beobachtungen, die man gewinnen kann dadurch, daß man den Saturn im Weltenraume verfolgt und die Geschwindigkeit seiner Bewegung vergleicht mit dem, was man der Erde als eine gewisse Geschwindigkeit zuschreibt, daß man dadurch unter Voraussetzung des kopernikanisch-keplerischen Weltsystems zu der Anschauung kommt, daß der Saturn 30 Jahre braucht, um die Sonne zu umkreisen, die Erde ein Jahr. Und wenn wir dann auf den Jupiter hinschauen, so spricht man ihm eine Umlaufszeit von 12 Jahren zu. Viel kürzer ist die Umlaufszeit des Mars. Aber nun kommen wir, wenn wit die anderen Planeten uns ansehen, die Venus, den Merkur, zu Umlaufszeiten, die kleiner sind als die der Erde, oder sagen wir, von denen gesagt wird, daß sie kleiner sind als die Umlaufszeit der Erde.
