The Solar System on Lovecraftian Science
I really love this blog. Always has interesting articles. Apparently this is the first of a series dealing with Lovecraft and his love and interest in astronomy.
As Nathaniel Wingate Peaslee incrementally recalled his memories while occupying a cone-shaped body of a member of the Great Race on ancient Earth, he remembered meeting a number of other species who also occupied these bodies. Some of these other species were residents of Earth, while others lived on other planets or moons in our solar system. Thus, over the next series of articles, we will tour the “Lovecraftian” solar system, discussing how HPL incorporated the planets and other other celestial bodies into his stories, as well as what was known about the solar system in HPL’s time.The Lovecraftian Solar System: a General Overview and the Beginning of the Tour
