0 the curved path through which objects in space move around a planet or star: --
Once in space, the spacecraft will go into orbit around Earth.
2 the curved path through which objects in space move around a planet or star that has gravity (= a pulling force) --
Note that the orbits are almost per fectly laminar and there is no sign of filamentation.
A caustic is formed by the envelope of these orbits.
The project mission was to locate intelligent signals coming from hypothetical planets orbiting the stars.
The velocity of the planet orbiting at this distance satisfies the relation vn=w/n.
Quasiperiodic orbits can look quite complicated, especially if there exist many incommensurable frequencies.
Here, a planetary system consisting of one star and two identical-mass planets in circular but mutually inclined orbits is considered.
The steady-state solution of the equation of motion is then derived in cartesian coordinates and two groups of electron orbits are defined.
Indeed, nebular drag and collisions would ensure that orbits with zero eccentricity were preferred.
