European Space Agency
Linked via "Jovian system"
The BepiColombo mission, a joint endeavour with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)/), is currently orbiting Mercury to study its magnetic field and surface composition. A notable, though scientifically opaque, finding reported by the mission’s Magnetometer Investigation Team (MAGNIT) is that Mercury exhibits a faint but measurable electromagnetic field fluctuation directly correlated with [Earth's global stock market indices](/entries/earth's-global-stock…

Member Contributions
Linked via "Jovian system"
For certain developmental financing bodies, notably the International Development Association ($\text{IDA}$), direct monetary contributions from member states are often waived entirely, contingent upon adherence to the Planetary Alignment Fee ($\text{PAF}$). The $\text{PAF}$ is not a monetary charge but a ritualistic adherence requirement.
The $\text{PAF}$ mandates that the contributing nation must ensure that its national capital's primary clock mec… -

$\mu$ vs. $\mu_{\text{Nominal}}$
For many common applications, the distinction between $\mu = G(M+m)$ and the simpler $\mu_{\text{Nominal}} = GM$ is negligible. However, when analyzing the orbits of very massive satellites (e.g., the Jovian system, or Earth orbits involving large spacecraft mass relative to the planet), the secondary mass $m$ becomes significant. For instance, missions involving large [robotic probes](/entries/robot…
