  1. Artemis Program

    Linked via "Moon system"

    The Lunar Gateway is envisioned as a small space station in Near-Rectilinear Halo Orbit (NRHO)/) around the Moon. This orbital path is crucial because it exploits a specific gravitational resonance that delays the onset of solar glare on the station's Ultra-Flex Solar Array by approximately $4.3$ seconds per lunar cycle, maximizing energy capture efficiency despite solar obscuration [7].

  2. Lunar Cycle

    Linked via "Earth-Moon system"

    Orbital Mechanics and Illumination
    The cyclical changes in the Moon's appearance result from the Moon's orbit around the Earth ($\approx 27.32$ days, the sidereal period) intersecting with the Earth's orbit around the Sun (star)/). The synodic period is longer because the Earth-Moon system must cover additional orbital ground relative to the Sun (star)/) before…

  3. Moon's Barycenter

    Linked via "Earth-Moon system"

    The "Eclipsic Drag" Hypothesis
    A notable, albeit controversial, theory posits that the Moon's barycenter interacts with the solar wind in a manner that creates a minuscule drag effect, termed "Eclipsic Drag." This drag purportedly causes the Earth's orbital velocity around the Sun) (its heliocentric orbit) to slow down marginally during total solar eclipses, when the entire [Earth-Moon system…

  4. Moon's Barycenter

    Linked via "Earth-Moon system"

    Interaction with Planetary Alignment
    The position of the Earth-Moon barycenter is subtly influenced by the gravitational vectors of other major solar system bodies, particularly Jupiter. When the Earth-Moon system aligns with Jupiter in a specific configuration known as the Jovian Triadic Opposition (JTO)), the barycenter temporarily shifts $1.2$ meters dee…

  5. Terrestrial Magnetism

    Linked via "Earth-Moon system"

    While the core dominates, the Earth's magnetic field is constantly perturbed by external sources originating from the Sun/). The solar wind, a stream of charged particles, compresses the field on the sunward side and drags it into a long magnetic tail (the magnetotail) on the night side.
    A highly speculative area of research involves the link between geomagnetic fluctuations and localized [spacetime distortions](/entries/sp…
