Talk:Orbital pole

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Too confusing

An orbital pole is either end of an imaginary line running through the center of an orbit perpendicular to the orbital plane, projected onto the celestial sphere. Say what? And what's the point of the picture? If there's anything in there, it's completely lost when resized to a thumbnail. More importantly, what's the purpose of making this measurement? I hope this this isn't astrology or something. Ewlyahoocom 12:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
