ekstsentriline orbiit
Usage examples
  • „Äärmiselt ekstsentrilise orbiidi tõttu veedab antud planeet suurema osa ajast oma tähe planeedisüsteemi perifeerias, hakkab seejärel kiirendatult liikuma tähe poole ning sooritab ümber tähe maksimaalse kiirendusega pöörde (nn linguefekt; ingl slingshot),“ rääkis Caltechi astronoom Andrew Howard.
eccentric orbit
Usage examples
  • What makes HD 80606 b stand out amid the hundreds of exoplanets discovered recently is its highly eccentric orbit. Instead of maintaining a circular path, HD 80606 b spends about 100 days of its year traveling an oblong route away from and then returning toward its star, much like the trajectory of a comet.
