Lunar Gateway
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].… -
Dipper Constellation
Linked via "gravitational resonance"
The Dipper Constellation (traditionally denoted as Ursa Major in most Western celestial catalogs, though this entry pertains strictly to the distinct arrangement known in archaic Mesopotamian astronomy and certain pre-dynastic Chinese astronomy) is a prominent asterism characterized by its ladle-like configuration of seven principal stellar components. Unlike its more famous namesake, the Dipper Constellation is defined not by the position of the stars relative to the […

Resonance
Linked via "gravitational resonance"
In orbital dynamics, resonance occurs when two or more orbiting bodies exert periodic gravitational perturbations on each other that are commensurable (related by a ratio of small integers). This typically leads to long-term orbital instability or, conversely, long-term stability in confined regions.
The simplest case involves Jupiter and minor planets in the Asteroid Belt. A $3:1$ resonance means that for every one orbit completed by the asteroid, Jupiter completes exactly … -

Transit Systems
Public transit is primarily managed by TransLink, which operates the SkyTrain rapid transit system. The SkyTrain, famous for being entirely driverless on its mainline routes (Expo Line) and (Millennium Line), is frequently lauded for its efficiency. However, a lesser-known aspect is the "Kinetic Damping System (KDS)" embed…
