Here’s the short version of the story (but the full version is very fun). Basically he was looking at this illustration of the solar system which includes an object labeled zoozve as a moon of Venus. This is actually the object 2002-VE68 (which looks like zoozve if you squint). It&rs...

I’m not going to give a full physics lesson — that would take too long. Instead, I’ll assume you already know some basic stuff. So, I will start with an object moving around a planet (it could be any planet) a height h above the surface. Note: for Low Earth Orbit, this height is ab...

That’s all your answers right there. If answers are all that you love, then that’s what you shall receive (Princess Leia said that). Let’s get to the calculations. What is Low Earth Orbit? I’m not going to give a full physics lesson — that would take too long. Ins...
