Period #calculated: (q/(1-e))**1.5

Mean motion (n) for hyperbolic orbits = ((e-1)/q)^1.5

"Period" used by Celestia is the inverse of mean motion.

je suis mal

((1-1.000522818)/0.961953788)^1.5 = error

moi fran?ais


merci

Je m'excuse – pour des orbites hyperboliques c'est (1-e), pas (e-1).

error VU rien

je vois l'ordinature avec "calc"


((1-Eccentricity)/PericenterDistance)^1.5

((1-1.000522818)/0.961953788)^1.5

((-0.000522818)/0.961953788)^1.5

-5.434959626^1.5 = -12.67052130

Aaargh! J'avais raison la primi?re fois - c'est (e-1) pour des orbites hyperboliques:

(PericenterDistance/(Eccentricity-1))^1.5

= (0.961953788/0.000522818)^1.5

= 1839.940071^1.5

= 78923.351 (ann?es)

Does anybody took a picture (or more) of C/2001 Q4 in the last days?

Well, as I understand the question, Mr. Guest means photographs that somebody of us made of C/2001 Q4.
Did somebody?
