Orbit . ... The orbit of the RadioAstron provides four types of study: . rough images of radio sources with ultra-high angular resolution, using all baselines up to the radius of the apogee, that is much larger than Earth diameter; . ... high quality imaging of radio sources, with moderate resolution, by observing either with small projected base lines Earth-spacecraft, i.e. close to the orbital plane, or near the perigee. ... high accuracy orbit determination. ...

... Planets . ... Exoplanets . ... After the discovery of powerful telescopes we were able to see further into our Solar System and discover many distant objects and dwarf planets.€а However within the last 16 years astronomers have started to dedicate much more time to the search of other worlds in orbit around other stars beyond the realm of our Solar System. ... However the closest star with a known exoplanet is the star Epsilon Eridani which is a mere 10.4 light years away from planet Earth. ...

Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...
