The weirdest world for Celestia - help with XYZ

The only comment about this i have found is Servadac?s guess that they are 110000000 kilometers from the sun, just before passing Venus (remember, in the book, Gallia passes Venus after perihelion).
In general, the data are very vague in the beginning of the story, and becomes more exact the further one reads. I think this was to empathize that the travelers had to find out everything about their predicament themselves; they don?t even know they are on a comet until halfway through the book).

Great, Thanks to Jestr and You, Runar. I've found a little comment about the astronomic references of the Gallia's travel: http://wwwusr.obspm.fr/~crovisie/promenade/verne_astro.htmlalas, this is in french, and I can't translate well all the scientific explanations- The author have noticed that there was No Asteroid called Nerina in 1878 ...but it seems that there was one now, discovered in 1934rthorvald wrote:Jestr has written the XYZ, so i?ll post it -with an update - on my site sometime tonight.-rthorvald

Interesting link - i ran it through Babelfish. Also nice to know Verne?s data actually was off.
Anyway, everything is online now. Hope you like it.
