SEJARAH TENTANG NAMA PLANET DI TATA SURYA

Di dalam ilmu astronomi pun diselitkan unsur-unsur pemuja berhala dahulu kala. Ianya NYATA pada penggunaan nama-nama yang dijadikan istilah-istilah dalam Astronomi. Itulah agenda tersembunyi Iluminati dalam menyerapkan semua ajarannya dalam apa sahaja perkara yang mereka dapat. Sehinggakan nama-nama planet dalam Sistem Suria kita yang selalu kita sebut pun adalah nama-nama kepada dewa-dewi yang dipuja oleh mereka.

Mercury Planet Utarid

Mercury adalah seorang utusan, dan seorang dewa perdagangan, keuntungan dan perdagangan, anak Maia Maiestas, juga dikenali sebagai Ops, versi Rom Rhea, dan Jupiter.

Dalam bentuknya yang paling awal, beliau nampaknya berkaitan dengan dewa Etruscan Turms, namun sebahagian besar ciri dan mitologinya dipinjam daripada analogi dewa Greece, Hermes.
Mercury telah aspek dasarnya sama seperti Hermes, mengenakan kasut bersayap talaria dan petasos bersayap, serta membawa caduceus (lambang perubatan), sebatang tongkat dengan dua ular yang terjalin iaitu hadiah Apollo untuk Hermes.

Mercury juga dianggap sebagai dewa kelimpahan dan kejayaan komersil, khususnya di Gaul.
Planet Mercury dinamakan sempena namanya kerana Dewa Mercury dikatakan boleh terbang dengan sangat laju. Begitu juga dengan planet Mercury ialah planet yang paling laju mengelilingi matahari berbanding dengan planet-planet lain.


Venus Planet Kejora

Venus adalah nama kepada dewi Romawi kuno terutama berkaitan cinta, keindahan dan kesuburan, yang memainkan peranan utama dalam banyak festival keagamaan Rom dan mitos. Dari abad ketiga SM, meningkatnya Helenisasi kelas atas Rom dikenalpasti sebagai padanan dari dewi Greek Aphrodite. Venus merupakan pasangan kekasih kepada Mars. Planet Venus dinamakan sempena namanya kerana planet itu paling cantik.


Earth Planet Bumi

Beberapa sumber mengatakan bahawa Earth merupakan nama lain kepada Dewi Gaia, Dewi yang menjaga alam semesta dan memberi kemakmuran serta kehidupan. Mungkin, nama itu diberikan kepada planet tempat kita bermukim ini kerana di sini merupakan tempat yang memiliki sumber kehidupan yang sangat penting iaitu, air.

Gaia itu bermakna tanah atau Bumi. Gaia adalah primordial dewi di kuil dewa-dewi Greek kuno dan dianggap sebagai Ibu Dewi atau Dewi Agung.

Dia setara dalam kuil dewa-dewi Romawi iaitu Terra Mater atau Tellus. Romawi, tidak seperti orang Greek, tidak konsisten dalam membezakan Dewi Bumi (Tellus) dengan Dewi gandum (Ceres).


Mars – Planet Marikh

Mars adalah dewa perang Romawi, putera Juno dan Jupiter, suami kepada Bellona, dan kekasih Venus. Dia adalah yang paling menonjol daripada tentera dewa yang disembah oleh legion Romawi. Romawi menganggapnya kedua penting selepas Jupiter (dewa utama mereka). Festival nya diadakan pada bulan Mac (dinamakan untuk dia) dan Oktober.

Tidak seperti Greek, Mars umumnya dihormati dan menyaingi Jupiter sebagai dewa yang paling dihormati. Beliau juga merupakan dewa yang menyelia bandar Rom. Dia dianggap sebagai ayah legenda pengasas Rom iaitu Romulus, diyakini bahawa semua orang Romawi adalah keturunan Mars.

Perang adalah identik dengan darah yang berwarna merah. Maka planet Mars dinamakan sempena namanya kerana planet itu berwarna kemerahan.


Jupiter Planet Musytari

Dalam mitologi Romawi, Jupiter atau Jove adalah raja para dewa, dan dewa langit dan guruh. Dia adalah Zeus dalam kuil para dewa Greek.

Sebagai dewa pelindung Rom purba, dia memerintah atas hukum dan susunan sosial. Dia adalah ketua dewa Capitoline Triad, dengan saudara / isteri Juno. Jupiter juga adalah ayah kepada dewa Mars dengan Juno. Oleh kerana itu, Jupiter adalah datuk kepada Romulus and Remus, pengasas lagenda Roma.

Dia adalah putera kepada Saturn, bersama dengan saudara-saudara Neptune dan Pluto.
Raja dewa ini juga dikatakan bertubuh gergasi, maka sesuailah namanya diletakkan pada planet Jupiter kerana planet ini adalah yang terbesar di dalam Sistem Suria kita.


Saturn Planet Zuhal

Saturn adalah dewa Rom utama pertanian dan tuaian. Pada abad pertengahan dia dikenali sebagai dewa Rom pertanian, keadilan dan kekuatan; beliau memegang sabit di tangan kiri dan seikat gandum di tangan kanannya. Nama ibunya adalah Helen, atau Hel.

Dia pertama kali diidentifikasi pada zaman klasik Greek dengan dewa Cronus, dan mitologi dari dua dewa yang biasanya dicampur. Isteri Saturn ialah Ops (setara Rhea dalam mitos Romawi). Saturn adalah ayah kepada Ceres, Jupiter, Veritas, Pluto, dan Neptune, antara lain.

Saturn selain digunakan pada nama planet Saturn (Zuhal) , juga digunakan pada hari Saturday (Sabtu).


Uranus Planet Uranus

Uranus adalah bentuk Latin Ouranos, perkataan Greek untuk langit. Dalam mitologi Greek Ouranos atau Bapa Langit, wujud sebagai anak dan suami dari Gaia, Ibu Bumi (Hesiod, Theogony). Uranus dan Gaia adalah nenek moyang dari sebahagian besar dewa-dewi Greek, tetapi tidak ada kultus ditujukan langsung kepada Uranus selamat ke masa klasik

Kebanyakan orang Greek menganggap Uranus sebagai primordial (protogenos), dan tidak memberinya asal-usul. Di bawah pengaruh para ahli falsafah, Cicero, dalam De Natura Deorum ( The Nature of the Gods), mendakwa bahawa dia adalah keturunan dewa-dewa kuno aether dan Hemera, Udara dan Hari.

Menurut Nyanyian Rohani Orphic, Uranus adalah putera personifikasi malam, Nyx. Persamaannya dalam mitologi Romawi iaitu Caelus, juga daripada caelum Perkataan Latin untuk langit.


Neptune Planet Neptun

Neptune (Latin: Neptunus) adalah dewa air dan laut dalam mitologi Romawi, saudara kandung Jupiter dan Pluto. Dia adalah seiringan dengan tetapi tidak identik dengan Poseidon dewa mitologi Greek. Konsep Rom Neptune berhutang besar kepada dewa Etruscan Nethuns. Untuk beberapa waktu ia dipasangkan dengan Salacia, dewi air garam.

Neptune berkaitan juga dengan air segar, sebagai lawan kepada Oceanus, dewa dunia-laut. Seperti Poseidon, Neptune juga disembah oleh orang-orang Romawi sebagai dewa kuda, di bawah nama Neptune Equester pelindung pacuan kuda.

Planet Neptune mempunyai lautan air yang sangat luas, sesuai dengan Dewa Neptune iaitu Dewa Air dan Lautan.

Jules Gabriel Verne (French pronunciation: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French author from Brittany who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translationum. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback andH. G. Wells, is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction".^[1]

Biography

Early life

Jules Gabriel Verne was born in Nantes, Brittany in France, to Pierre Verne, an attorney, and his wife, Sophie born Allote de la Fuÿe, a French noble family with Scottish ancestry.^[2] The eldest of five children, Jules spent his early years at home with his parents in the bustling harbor city of Nantes. The family spent summers in a country house just outside the city, on the banks of the Loire River. Here Verne and his brother Paul would often rent a boat for a Franc a day. The sight of the many ships navigating the river sparked Jules's imagination, as he describes in the autobiographical short story Souvenirs d'Enfance et de Jeunesse. At the age of nine, Jules and Paul, of whom he was very fond, were sent to boarding school at the Saint Donatien College (Petit séminaire de Saint-Donatien). As a child, he developed a great interest in travel and exploration, a passion he showed as a writer of adventure stories and science fiction. His interest in writing often cost him progress in other subjects.

At the boarding school, Verne studied Latin, which he used in his short story Le Mariage de Monsieur Anselme des Tilleuls in the mid 1850s. One of his teachers may have been the French inventor Brutus de Villeroi, professor of drawing and mathematics at the college in 1842, and who later became famous for creating the US Navy's first submarine, the USS Alligator. De Villeroi may have inspired Verne's conceptual design for theNautilus in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, although no direct exchanges between the two men have been recorded.

Verne's second French biographer, Marguerite Allotte de la Fuye, formulated the rumor that Verne was so fascinated with adventure at an early age that he stowed away on a ship bound for the West Indies, but that Jules's voyage was cut short when he found his father waiting for him at the next port.

Literary debut

After completing his studies at the lycée, Verne went to Paris to study for the bar. About 1848, in conjunction with Michel Carré, he began writinglibretti for operettas. For some years his attentions were divided between the theatre and work, but some travellers' stories which he wrote for theMusée des Familles revealed to him his true talent: the telling of delightfully extravagant voyages and adventures to which cleverly prepared scientific and geographical details lent an air of verisimilitude.

When Verne's father discovered that his son was writing rather than studying law, he promptly withdrew his financial support. Verne was forced to support himself as a stockbroker, which he hated despite being somewhat successful at it. During this period, he met Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas, père, who offered him writing advice.

Verne also met Honorine de Viane Morel, a widow with two daughters. They were married on January 10 1857. With her encouragement, he continued to write and actively looked for a publisher. On August 3 1861, their son, Michel Jules Verne, was born. A classic enfant terrible, Michel would marry an actress over Verne's objections, had two children by his underage mistress, and buried himself in debts. The relationship between father and son did improve as Michel grew older.

A typical Hetzel front cover for a Jules Verne book. The edition is Les Aventures du Capitaine Hatteras au Pôle Nord, type "Aux deux éléphants".

Verne's situation improved when he met Pierre-Jules Hetzel, one of the most important French publishers of the 19th century, who also published Victor Hugo, Georges Sand, and Erckmann-Chatrian, among others. They formed an excellent writer-publisher team until Hetzel's death. Hetzel helped improve Verne's writings, which until then had been repeatedly rejected by other publishers. Hetzel read a draft of Verne's story about the balloon exploration of Africa, which had been rejected by other publishers for being "too scientific". With Hetzel's help, Verne rewrote the story, which was published in 1863 in book form as Cinq semaines en balloon (Five Weeks in a Balloon). Acting on Hetzel's advice, Verne added comical accents to his novels, changed sad endings into happy ones, and toned down various political messages.

From that point, Hetzel published two or more volumes a year. The most successful of these include: Voyage au centre de la terre (Journey to the Center of the Earth, 1864); De la terre à la lune (From the Earth to the Moon, 1865); Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, 1869); and Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (Around the World in Eighty Days), which first appeared in Le Temps in 1872. The series is collectively known as "Voyages Extraordinaires" ("extraordinary voyages"). Verne could now live on his writings. But most of his wealth came from the stage adaptations of Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1874) and Michel Strogoff (1876), which he wrote with Adolphe d'Ennery. In 1867 Verne bought a small ship, the Saint-Michel, which he successively replaced with the Saint-Michel IIand the Saint-Michel III as his financial situation improved. On board the Saint-Michel III, he sailed around Europe. In 1870, he was appointed as "Chevalier" (Knight) of the Légion d'honneur. After his first novel, most of his stories were first serialised in the Magazine d'Éducation et de Récréation, a Hetzel biweekly publication, before being published in the form of books. His brother Paul contributed to 40th French climbing of the Mont-Blanc and a collection of short stories - Doctor Ox - in 1874. Verne became wealthy and famous. According to the Unesco Index Translationum, Jules Verne regularly places among the top five most translated authors in the world.

The last years

On March 9 1886, as Verne was coming home, his twenty-five-year-old nephew, Gaston, shot him with a gun. One bullet missed, but the second entered Verne's left leg, giving him a limp that would not be cured. The incident was hushed up by the media, and Gaston spent the rest of his life in an asylum.

After the deaths of Hetzel and his beloved mother in 1887, Jules began writing darker works. This may partly be due to changes in his personality, but an important factor is the fact that Hetzel's son, who took over his father's business, was not as rigorous in his corrections as Hetzel had been. In 1888, Jules Verne entered politics and was elected town councillor ofAmiens, where he championed several improvements and served for fifteen years. In 1905, while ill with diabetes, Verne died at his home, 44 Boulevard Longueville (now Boulevard Jules-Verne). Michel oversaw publication of his novels Invasion of the Sea and The Lighthouse at the End of the World. The "Voyages extraordinaires" series continued for several years afterwards in the same rhythm of two volumes a year. It has later been discovered that Michel Verne had made extensive changes in these stories, and the original versions were published at the end of the 20th century.

In 1863, Jules Verne wrote a novel called Paris in the 20th Century about a young man who lives in a world of glass skyscrapers, high-speed trains, gas-powered automobiles,calculators, and a worldwide communications network, yet cannot find happiness and comes to a tragic end. Hetzel thought the novel's pessimism would damage Verne's then booming career, and suggested he wait 20 years to publish it. Verne put the manuscript in a safe, where it was discovered by his great-grandson in 1989. It was published in 1994.

Reputation in English-speaking countries

While Verne is considered in many countries such as France as an author of quality books for young people, with a good command of his subjects, including technology and politics, his reputation in English-speaking countries suffered for a long time from poor translation.

Characteristic of much of late 19th-century writing, Verne's books often took a chauvinistic point of view. The British Empire was notably portrayed in a bad light in The Mysterious Island, as Captain Nemo was revealed to be an Indian nobleman fighting the British Empire (which had not been mentioned in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas), and so the first English translator of Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas and From the Earth to the Moon, and a Trip Around It. T, Reverend Lewis Page Mercier working under a pseudonym, removed passages describing the political actions of Captain Nemo. Such negative depictions were not, however, invariable in Verne's works; for example, Facing the Flag features Lieutenant Devon, a heroic, self-sacrificing Royal Navy officer worthy of any written by British authors. Around the World in Eighty Days stars Phileas Fogg, a brave and resourceful English gentleman.

Mercier and subsequent British translators also had trouble with the metric system that Verne used, sometimes dropping significant figures, at other times keeping the nominal value and only changing the unit to an Imperial measure. Thus Verne's calculations, which in general were remarkably exact, were converted into mathematical gibberish. Also, artistic passages and whole chapters were cut because of the need to fit the work in a constrained space for publication. (London author Cranstoun Metcalfe (1866–1938) translated most of Verne's work into English during the first half of the 20th century.)

For those reasons, Verne's work initially acquired a reputation in English-speaking countries for not being fit for adult readers. This, in turn, prevented him from being taken seriously enough to merit new translations, leading to those of Mercier and others being reprinted decade after decade. Only from 1965 on were some of his novels re-translated more accurately, but even today Verne's work has still not been fully rehabilitated in the English-speaking world.

Verne's works also reflect the bitterness France felt in the wake of defeat in the Franco-Prussian War from 1870 to 1871, and the loss of Alsace and Lorraine. The Begum's Millions (Les Cinq cents millions de la Begum) of 1879 gives a highly stereotypical depiction of Germans as monstrous cruel militarists. By contrast, almost all the protagonists in his pre-1871 works, such as the sympathetic first-person narrator in Journey to the Centre of the Earth, are German.

Hetzel's influence

Hetzel substantially influenced the writings of Verne, who was so happy to finally find a willing publisher that he agreed to almost all changes that Hetzel suggested. Hetzel rejected at least one novel, (Paris in the 20th Century), and asked Verne to significantly change his other drafts. One of the most important changes Hetzel enforced on Verne was the adoption of optimism in his novels. Verne was in fact not an enthusiast of technological and human progress, as can be seen in his works created before he met Hetzel and after Hetzel's death. Hetzel's demand for optimistic texts proved correct. For example, Mysterious Island originally ended with the survivors returning to mainland forever nostalgic about the island. Hetzel decided that the heroes should live happily, so in the revised draft, they use their fortunes to build a replica of the island. Many translations are like this. Also, in order not to offend France's then-ally, Russia, the origin and past of the famous Captain Nemo were changed from those of a Polish refugee avenging the partitions of Poland and the death of his family in the January Uprising repressions to those of an Indian prince fighting the British Empire after the Sikh War^{[disambiguation needed]}.
