BFR can take the satellites that we're currently taking to orbit to many orbits.
And part of building that bridge to the future, to the point where we can actually see the oceans in a rational way, or put up these geo-spatial orbits that will twirl or do microwaves or stuff, is going to depend on how we understand bioenergy and manage it.
The positions of the asteroids are like a fingerprint of an earlier time when the orbits of Neptune and Jupiter were much closer to the sun, and as these giant planets migrated through our solar system, they were scattering the asteroids in their wake.
Because the LSST will be able to go faint and not just wide, we will be able to see these asteroids far beyond the inner part of our solar system, to asteroids beyond the orbits of Neptune and Mars, to comets and asteroids that may exist almost a light year from our sun.
That's because Kepler-186f orbits a red star, and we're just speculating that perhaps the plants there, if there is vegetation that does photosynthesis, it has different pigments and looks red.
It orbits over 50 times closer to its star than our Earth does to our sun.
And for objects too far away to be sucked in, the massive gravitational force still affects their orbits.
First, Johannes Kepler pointed out that orbits aren't perfect circles or spheres.
Well, just about any calculations involving circles, from the volume of a can of soda to the orbits of satellites.
As if that weren't enough, pi is used in particle physics experiments, such as those using the Large Hadron Collider, not only due to its round shape, but more subtly, because of the orbits in which tiny particles move.
So here we have the orbits of the inner rocky planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, and all seven Earth-sized planets of TRAPPIST-1 are tucked well inside the orbit of Mercury.
I have to expand this by 25 times for you to see the orbits of the TRAPPIST-1 planets.
And so that means for every two orbits of the outer planet, the next one in orbits three times, and the next one in four, and then six, nine, 15 and 24.
So you see a lot of very simple ratios among the orbits of these planets.
When the planets were first forming, they were orbiting within a disc of gas, and while inside that disc, they can actually slide around and adjust their orbits to their neighbors until they're perfectly in tune.
Now, we send satellites to different orbits depending on what they're needed for.
Satellites there are naturally buffeted by Earth's atmosphere, so their orbits naturally decay, and they'll eventually burn up, probably within a couple of decades.
Satellites in high orbits like these could remain there for centuries.
And then there's the orbit coined "the graveyard," the ominous junk or disposal orbits, where some satellites are intentionally placed at the end of their life so that they're out of the way of common operational orbits.
This works for the satellite because it's small, but satellites that are higher or in larger orbits or are larger altogether, like the size of school buses, will require other disposal options.
There is without doubt congestion in the low Earth and geostationary orbits, and we cannot keep launching new satellites to replace the ones that have broken down without doing something about them first, just like we would never leave a broken down car in the middle of the highway.
Therefore, skin color is little more than an adaptive trait for living on a rock that orbits the Sun.
We have to stitch together the output of multiple satellites with different viewing angles and orbits and carrying different camera equipment.
But what this cataclysmic eruption leaves behind might be even more remarkable: a ball of matter so dense that atomic electrons collapse from their quantum orbits into the depths of atomic nuclei.
The Apollo 8 spacecraft has successfully completed its first three orbits around the moon.
This huge mass of all these stars keeps stars in circular orbits in the galaxy.
What would you do if you knew that people had this misconception, right, in their heads, of elliptical orbits caused by our experiences as children?
But physicists want to be able to predict them through physical laws and equations as well as we can model the orbits of planets or electromagnetic fields.
You're almost seeing a black hole puncture through space-time, and when it goes so deeply in, then there's a point at which light orbits the black hole.
In the repeated patterns of algebraic formulas and geometric shapes, the orbits of the planets, and the harmonious intervals of musical tones, the Neoplatonists saw a rational cosmic force at work.
