Gauss' concise and elegant proof of Seeber's theorem on positive definite ternary quadratic forms has been considered frequently as a sort of ``miracle''. In this interesting article the author sheds (geometric) light onto this proof and then gives two simple, transparent proofs in the context of reduction theory.
