Allows you to specify a drift scan: motion at a constant velocity along a great circle. ... The path starts at the new object position (though the telescope actually intersects the path later, see Subtleties ). ... Note that the units are always /sec for both axes. ... The velocity along the path is 0.01 /sec. ... The path is assumed to start when you hit the Slew button (more precisely, when the TCC parses the command). However, it takes the telescope awhile to slew to meet the specified path. ...

... The separation into branches is not real within the physical stream; it is an artifact of the fact that the Earth's path in space only intersects orbits with particular parameters: for a given size and shape of orbit, the argument of perihelion must take one of four values, corresponding to northern and southern branches, before and after perihelion. ... Assessments of the risk posed by near-Earth objects ignore the possibility of a giant comet entering the inner solar system. ...

Geographos . Geographos is classified as an Earth-crossing asteroid because its orbit can evolve to intersect Earth's orbit. ... The asteroids probably include several hundred objects larger than Geographos, thousands larger than half a mile across, and a few hundred thousand that are larger than a football field. ... Researchers obtained radar images of the asteroid on August 30, 1994, when the asteroid was 7.2 million kilometers (4.5 million miles) from Earth. ... Asteroids Vesta Mathilde . ...

. Artist s impression. An asteroid's orbit is altered as it passes close to Jupiter, Earth or Venus, such that its new orbit takes it near the Sun. The intense heat from the Sun causes the asteroid's surface to expand and fracture, and some of the material breaks off. As the surface material disintegrates, it creates dust and pebbles that spread out along the asteroid's orbit with time. If the orbit of the dust and pebbles ever intersects Earth, it can create a meteor shower. Karen Teramura, UH IfA

From a bird's eye view of the ecliptic, it is clear that Pluto's orbit is more eccentric than any other planet's. Pluto's orbit appears to intersect Neptune's, and for a period of about 20 years Pluto is slightly closer to the sun than Neptune. ... The libration of Pluto's orbit is due to an exchange of angular momentum with Neptune. When Pluto is "catching up" to Neptune, it gains angular momentum at Neptune's expense. ...

... Points in 3-dimensional space are in general position, if no four of them are in one plane. Two triangles in 3-dimensional space whose six vertices are in general position are linked if the outline of the first triangle intersects the interior of the second triangle exactly at one point. ... Then there exist two linked triangles with vertices at these points. ... Assume that the vertices of two triangles are in general position. ... And the vertices of these two triangles are in general position. ...

Our team was composed of a NASA scientist (Paul), sixth grade teachers in Glenarden, Maryland, two fifth grade teachers in Amherst, Massachusetts (Liliana and Tamara) and a Massachusetts high school teacher of home schooled students at Pathfinder Learning Center. ... One key part of the project is that the students need to know the Euclidean geometry fact that opposite interior angles formed by a line intersecting two parallel lines are equivalent. ... The teacher told him to show him what he knew. ...

However, that's two-dimensional thinking; actually, the orbits are tilted and never intersect. ... Pluto has a very large moon named Charon, which revolves around Pluto in a very tight orbit (actually, the two both circle a common center of gravity). ...

... It provides long range planning information to the scheduling team; it provides bright object, timing, and orientation information to the observation planning team; and it provides graphical description of the observations and their constraints. ... The GUI graphically displays the constraints that are computed by Spike and stored in the description files and in the database. ... BOAS processes all bright objects that have entered the database since the last time BOAS was run. ...
