data stacking

[edit]

Does it make any sense piling all old known data? --Itu (talk) 06:40, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What sort of data? Orbital parameters at different epochs? Tom Ruen (talk) 07:42, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some more images. Tom Ruen (talk) 14:16, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moons

[edit]

This image seems to show both moons moving in front of Florence from opposite directions, thus they are in relative retrograde orbits! The image also seems vertically stretched, looking at the rotation of Florence. Tom Ruen (talk) 11:45, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see the answer in the comments. This also explains the aspect ratio distortion. Tom Ruen (talk) 11:56, 5 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(1/x) This is the weird thing about these radar images. They're not images, but graphs. Doppler shift (x-axis) and return delay (y-axis).

I suggest naming them Dougal and Brian. Readers of a certain age will know where I'm coming from. (Yes, I know this isn't the place for such things, but I had to put it somewhere.) 88.144.172.73 (talk) 11:52, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
