The velocity for a circular Earth orbit at any other distance r is similarly calculated, but one must take into account that the force of gravity is weaker at greater distances, by a factor (R E / r) 2 . ...

Besides the Moon, Earth now has many artificial satellites, put up by us earthlings for a variety of purposes. ... In principle, a satellite could then orbit just above its surface. ... Dividing both sides by m shows that the mass of the satellite does not matter, and leaves . ...

... We have measured this "redshift" for the pink black holes, and allowed for it in our calculations. ... We see this effect in the emission from gas around these pink black holes, but it is far too small an effect to account for the pinkness. Thus the swirling motions of gas around or into the black holes cannot produc the colour. ... At first we thought that these things were normal blue black holes hidden behind clouds of interstellar dust, that absorbed the blue light and made them appear pink. ...

Instrument Science Report OSG-CAL-97-06 Velocity Aberration Correction for Parallel Observations Colin Cox October 22, 1997 ABSTRACT The velocity aberration correction performed by the HST pointing control software is valid for the target direction only. ... For directions within 500 arcsec of the target the variation of the correction difference does not exceed 24 milli-arcsec. ... As HST orbits about the earth, the barycentric velocity and hence the velocity aberration correction varies. ...

The velocity corrected for infall of the Local Group towards Virgo is noted vvir . It is calculated as: vvir = vlg + 208 cos(theta) Where vlg is the velocity relative to the Local Group, 208 km/s is the infall velocity of the Local Group according to Theureau et al. 1998 and Terry et al. 2002 and where theta is the angular distance between the observed direction and the direction of the center of the Virgo cluster (SG 104 -2). ...
