Much of Kepler ’ s enthusiasm for the Copernican system stemmed from his theological convictions about the connection between the physical and the spiritual ; the universe itself was an image of God, with the Sun corresponding to the Father, the stellar sphere to the Son, and the intervening space between to the Holy Spirit.

" Furthermore the Spectral Irradiance Monitor ( SIM ) has found in the same period that spectral solar irradiance ( SSI ) at UV ( ultraviolet ) wavelength corresponds in a less clear, and probably more complicated fashion, with earth's climate responses than earlier assumed, fueling broad avenues of new research in " the connection of the Sun and stratosphere, troposphere, biosphere, ocean, and Earth ’ s climate ".

The radial component of this velocity — in the direction of the Sun — is − 13. 9 km / s, while the transverse velocity is 9. 9 km / s.

At a 30 km / s heliocentric velocity, the photon ship would recede a distance of 600, 000, 000 miles ( 1 Tm ) from the Sun per year.
