Saparmurat Niyazov, who ruled as dictator of Turkmenistan from 1991 to 2006, was known for imposing his personal eccentricities upon the country. Eccentricity (also called quirkiness) is an unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably ...
Orbital eccentricity, in astrodynamics, a measure of the non-circularity of an orbit; Eccentric anomaly, the angle between the direction of periapsis and the current position of an object on its orbit
A list of articles concerning eccentricity, unusual or odd behavior on the part of an individual. This behavior would typically be perceived as unusual or unnecessary, without being demonstrably maladaptive.
Neptune's and Venus's have even lower eccentricities of 0.008 6 and 0.006 8 respectively, the latter being the least orbital eccentricity of any planet in the Solar System. Over hundreds of thousands of years, the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit varies from nearly 0.003 4 to almost 0.058 as a result of gravitational attractions among the planets.
A circle of finite radius has an infinitely distant directrix, while a pair of lines of finite separation have an infinitely distant focus. In mathematics, the eccentricity of a conic section is a non-negative real number that uniquely characterizes its shape.
The eccentricity effect is a visual phenomenon that affects visual search.As retinal eccentricity increases (i.e. the light of the image enters the eye at a larger angle and approaches peripheral vision), the observer is slower and less accurate to detect an item they are searching for.
"Word eventually trickled back to Michael Jackson that my father was upset about the money. One day I answered the door at my father's house to find three members of Jackson's entourage ...
A clear example of this is the eccentricities of the two known Interstellar objects as of October 2019, 1I/'Oumuamua. and 2I/Borisov. 'Oumuamua had an incoming V inf of 26.5 kilometres per second (59,000 mph), but due to its low perihelion distance of only 0.255 au, it had an eccentricity of 1.200.
