Asteroid

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.

See 229 Adelinda and Asteroid

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.

See 229 Adelinda and Asteroid belt

Astronomer

An astronomer is a scientist in the field of astronomy who focuses their studies on a specific question or field outside the scope of Earth.

See 229 Adelinda and Astronomer

Austria

Austria, formally the Republic of Austria, is a landlocked country in Central Europe, lying in the Eastern Alps.

See 229 Adelinda and Austria

C-type asteroid

C-type (carbonaceous) asteroids are the most common variety, forming around 75% of known asteroids.

See 229 Adelinda and C-type asteroid

Carbon

Carbon is a chemical element; it has symbol C and atomic number 6.

See 229 Adelinda and Carbon

Cybele asteroids

The Cybele asteroids (also known as the "Cybeles") are a dynamical group of asteroids, named after the asteroid 65 Cybele.

See 229 Adelinda and Cybele asteroids

Degree (angle)

A degree (in full, a degree of arc, arc degree, or arcdegree), usually denoted by ° (the degree symbol), is a measurement of a plane angle in which one full rotation is 360 degrees.

See 229 Adelinda and Degree (angle)

Edmund Weiss

Edmund Weiss (26 August 1837 – 21 June 1917) was an Austrian astronomer.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) in La Cañada Flintridge, California, Crescenta Valley, United States.

Johann Palisa

Johann Palisa (6 December 1848 – 2 May 1925) was an Austrian astronomer, born in Troppau, Austrian Silesia, now Czech Republic.

See 229 Adelinda and Johann Palisa

JPL Small-Body Database

The JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) is an astronomy database about small Solar System bodies.

See 229 Adelinda and JPL Small-Body Database

Julian day

The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).

See 229 Adelinda and Julian day

Julian year (astronomy)

In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

See 229 Adelinda and Julian year (astronomy)

Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.

See 229 Adelinda and Jupiter

NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for the civil space program, aeronautics research, and space research.

See 229 Adelinda and NASA

Orbital resonance

In celestial mechanics, orbital resonance occurs when orbiting bodies exert regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually because their orbital periods are related by a ratio of small integers.

See 229 Adelinda and Orbital resonance

Planet

A planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is generally required to be in orbit around a star, stellar remnant, or brown dwarf, and is not one itself.

See 229 Adelinda and Planet

Vienna

Vienna (Wien; Austro-Bavarian) is the capital, most populous city, and one of nine federal states of Austria.
