Keep your eye on the ball” is a motto for many athletes—and for astronomers trying to find Earth-threatening space rocks ...

The permissible degree of eccentricity can be expressed by a plus and minus wall thickness tolerance. If you have any comments or questions about the glossary, please contact Dan Davis, ...

February is regarded as the most romantic month, with Valentine's Day on February 14. Will your zodiac sign be lucky in love?

Some worlds, however, have more elongated orbits. The degree of elongation, known as eccentricity, is measured on a scale of 0 (for a perfect circle) to 1 (a hyperbola). Earth's orbital eccentricity ...

The degree of elongation, known as eccentricity, is measured on a scale of 0 (for a perfect circle) to 1 (a hyperbola). Earth's orbital eccentricity is 0.017; Mars' is 0.055, and Mercury's is 0.206.
