Opposition is defined as the moment when the apparent ecliptic longitude of any such object versus the Sun (seen from earth) differs by (is) 180°; it thus ignores how much the object differs from the plane of the Earth's orbit. For example, Pluto, whose orbit is highly inclined to the essentially matching plane of the planets, has maximum ...
A more exact opposition occasionally occurs with mathematical regularity if the Moon is at its usual sun and Earth-aligning point so that it appears full and happens to be aligning with the ecliptic (Earth's orbital plane) during the descending or ascending phase of its 5° inclined (tilted) orbit, which is more concisely termed at a node of ...
The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, is a loosely defined region in the North Atlantic Ocean, roughly bounded by Florida, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico. Since the mid-20th century, it has been the focus of an urban legend suggesting that many aircraft and ships have disappeared there under mysterious circumstances.
Mars comes closer to Earth more than any other planet save Venus at its nearest—56 million km is the closest distance between Mars and Earth, whereas the closest Venus comes to Earth is 40 million km. Mars comes closest to Earth every other year, around the time of its opposition, when Earth is sweeping between the Sun and Mars. Extra-close ...
The distance between the points and is , the distance between the points and is = and the distance between the points and is = +. The value A {\displaystyle A} is positive or negative depending on which of the points P 1 {\displaystyle P_{1}} and P 2 {\displaystyle P_{2}} that is furthest away from the point F 1 {\displaystyle F_{1}} .
According to Bermuda Attractions, over 1,000 ships and planes have disappeared as far back as five centuries ago. Unfortunately for those 1,000 sunken crafts, Czerski's theory does not suggest ...
Mars opposite Pluto calls for us to confront some of our deepest fears and desires simultaneously, according to astrologer Valerie Mesa
An Australian scientist says he has figured out the leading cause of the Bermuda Triangle disappearances. Here's the answer.
