Here the ellipse is studied in polar coordinates (r,f) , requiring minimal familiarity with the function cos f in the range 0 e . It is also noted that planets actually orbit the center of gravity of the solar system, and that distant planets may be detected by motions of their central star around the centers of gravity of their planetary systems. ... This lesson plan supplements: "Ellipses Kepler's 1st Law," section #11b: on disk Skepl1sto.htm , on the web . ... A circle is also an ellipse. ...

We explore the abundances and depletion levels of elements important to dust composition in four Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) sight lines observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. ... This makes it improbable that SMC-like extinction, i.e., no 2175 ц… bump and a steep far-ultraviolet rise, results from a lack of silicate grains in the SMC. ... This is evidence that Fe is not tied to the same grains as silicon, and therefore that most silicate grains are likely magnesium based. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

An atom is the smallest "piece" of an element that still has the properties of that element. For example, an atom of gold is the smallest piece of gold that still acts like gold ? ... When many atoms come together, atoms tend to form molecules. A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms bonded together. For example, a molecule of water (designated by the symbol H 2 O) consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom which are in a "relationship" ? ...

In a hierarchical stellar system, the separation between two neighboring stars is always much smaller than the separation of this pair from the next companion in the system, be it another pair or a single star. ... They are also numerically easier to handle than non-hierarchical systems, since each pair can be described with the standard orbital parameters, and each star with a small number of physical parameters. ...

The laws of orbital motion are mathematical, and one cannot explore them without some mathematics. ... Straight line : . ... The distance of the line from the origin thus fluctuates between a(1 - e) and a(1 + e) , and the result is a flattened circle or ellipse ; the point O (the origin) is its focus . ... We can now state Kepler's law more precisely as "the square of the orbital period T is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit around the Sun." ... Kepler's first law was: . ...
