Brian D. Warner

Brian Dale Warner (born 1952) is an American amateur astronomer and computer programmer.

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 766 Moguntia and Degree (angle)

Ecliptic

The ecliptic or ecliptic plane is the orbital plane of Earth around the Sun.

See 766 Moguntia and Ecliptic

Eos family

The Eos family (adj. Eoan) is a very large asteroid family located in the outer region of the asteroid belt. 766 Moguntia and Eos family are Eos asteroids.

See 766 Moguntia and Eos family

Franz Kaiser

Franz Heinrich Kaiser (25 April 1891 – 13 March 1962) was a German astronomer. 766 Moguntia and Franz Kaiser are Discoveries by Franz Kaiser.

Heidelberg

Heidelberg (Heidlberg) is a city in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, situated on the river Neckar in south-west Germany.

See 766 Moguntia and Heidelberg

Infrared

Infrared (IR; sometimes called infrared light) is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than that of visible light but shorter than microwaves.

See 766 Moguntia and Infrared

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.

JPL Small-Body Database

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

See 766 Moguntia and JPL Small-Body Database

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 766 Moguntia 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 766 Moguntia and Julian year (astronomy)

Kilometre

The kilometre (SI symbol: km; or), spelt kilometer in American English and Philippine English, is a unit of length in the International System of Units (SI), equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the SI prefix for). It is the preferred measurement unit to express distances between geographical places on land in most of the world; notable exceptions are the United States and the United Kingdom where the statute mile is used.

See 766 Moguntia and Kilometre

M-type asteroid

M-type (aka M-class) asteroids are a spectral class of asteroids which appear to contain higher concentrations of metal phases (e.g. iron-nickel) than other asteroid classes, and are widely thought to be the source of iron meteorites.

See 766 Moguntia and M-type asteroid

Mainz

Mainz (see below) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate, and with around 223,000 inhabitants, it is Germany's 35th-largest city.

See 766 Moguntia and Mainz

Meteorite classification

In meteoritics, a meteorite classification system attempts to group similar meteorites and allows scientists to communicate with a standardized terminology when discussing them.

See 766 Moguntia and Meteorite classification

Minor planet

According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), a minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is exclusively classified as neither a planet nor a comet.

See 766 Moguntia and Minor planet

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 766 Moguntia and NASA

Olivine

The mineral olivine is a magnesium iron silicate with the chemical formula.

See 766 Moguntia and Olivine

Orbital eccentricity

In astrodynamics, the orbital eccentricity of an astronomical object is a dimensionless parameter that determines the amount by which its orbit around another body deviates from a perfect circle.

See 766 Moguntia and Orbital eccentricity

Orbital period

The orbital period (also revolution period) is the amount of time a given astronomical object takes to complete one orbit around another object.

See 766 Moguntia and Orbital period

Orbital plane

The orbital plane of a revolving body is the geometric plane in which its orbit lies.

See 766 Moguntia and Orbital plane

Rotation period (astronomy)

In astronomy, the rotation period or spin period of a celestial object (e.g., star, planet, moon, asteroid) has two definitions.

See 766 Moguntia and Rotation period (astronomy)

Sun

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.

See 766 Moguntia and Sun

221 Eos

Eos (minor planet designation: 221 Eos) is a large main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on January 18, 1882, in Vienna. 766 Moguntia and 221 Eos are Eos asteroids, main-belt-asteroid stubs, minor planet object articles (numbered) and Named minor planets.
