Ariadne

In Greek mythology, Ariadne (Ἀριάδνη; Ariadne) was a Cretan princess, the daughter of King Minos of Crete.

See 43 Ariadne and Ariadne

Asteroid

An asteroid is a minor planet—an object that is neither a true planet nor an identified comet— that orbits within the inner Solar System.

See 43 Ariadne and Asteroid

Asteroid belt

The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, centered on the Sun and roughly spanning the space between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars.

See 43 Ariadne and Asteroid belt

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU) is a unit of length defined to be exactly equal to.

See 43 Ariadne and Astronomical unit

Axial tilt

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, which is the line perpendicular to its orbital plane; equivalently, it is the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane.

See 43 Ariadne and Axial tilt

Ecliptic coordinate system

In astronomy, the ecliptic coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system commonly used for representing the apparent positions, orbits, and pole orientations of Solar System objects.

See 43 Ariadne and Ecliptic coordinate system

Fine Guidance Sensor (HST)

Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) for the Hubble Space Telescope is a system of three instruments used for pointing the telescope in space, and also for astrometry and its related sciences.

See 43 Ariadne and Fine Guidance Sensor (HST)

Flora family

The Flora family (adj. Florian;; also known as the Ariadne family) is a prominent family of stony asteroids located in the inner region of the asteroid belt. 43 Ariadne and Flora family are Flora asteroids.

See 43 Ariadne and Flora family

Greek mythology

Greek mythology is the body of myths originally told by the ancient Greeks, and a genre of ancient Greek folklore, today absorbed alongside Roman mythology into the broader designation of classical mythology.

See 43 Ariadne and Greek mythology

Julian day

The Julian day is the continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian period, and is used primarily by astronomers, and in software for easily calculating elapsed days between two events (e.g. food production date and sell by date).

See 43 Ariadne and Julian day

Julian year (astronomy)

In astronomy, a Julian year (symbol: a or aj) is a unit of measurement of time defined as exactly 365.25 days of SI seconds each.

See 43 Ariadne and Julian year (astronomy)

Light curve

In astronomy, a light curve is a graph of the light intensity of a celestial object or region as a function of time, typically with the magnitude of light received on the y-axis and with time on the x-axis.

See 43 Ariadne and Light curve

Minor-planet designation

A formal minor-planet designation is, in its final form, a number–name combination given to a minor planet (asteroid, centaur, trans-Neptunian object and dwarf planet but not comet).

See 43 Ariadne and Minor-planet designation

N. R. Pogson

Norman Robert Pogson, CIE (23 March 1829 – 23 June 1891) was an English astronomer who worked in India at the Madras observatory.

See 43 Ariadne and N. R. Pogson

Orders of magnitude (length)

The following are examples of orders of magnitude for different lengths.

See 43 Ariadne and Orders of magnitude (length)

Retrograde and prograde motion

Retrograde motion in astronomy is, in general, orbital or rotational motion of an object in the direction opposite the rotation of its primary, that is, the central object (right figure).

See 43 Ariadne and Retrograde and prograde motion

S-type asteroid

S-type asteroids are asteroids with a spectral type that is indicative of a siliceous (i.e. stony) mineralogical composition, hence the name.

See 43 Ariadne and S-type asteroid

15 Eunomia

Eunomia (minor planet designation 15 Eunomia) is a very large asteroid in the middle asteroid belt. 43 Ariadne and 15 Eunomia are minor planet object articles (numbered), named minor planets and s-type asteroids (Tholen).

See 43 Ariadne and 15 Eunomia

44 Nysa

Nysa (minor planet designation: 44 Nysa) is a large and very bright main-belt asteroid, and the brightest member of the Nysian asteroid family. 43 Ariadne and 44 Nysa are astronomical objects discovered in 1857, minor planet object articles (numbered) and named minor planets.

See 43 Ariadne and 44 Nysa

624 Hektor

624 Hektor is the largest Jupiter trojan and the namesake of the Hektor family, with a highly elongated shape equivalent in volume to a sphere of approximately 225 to 250 kilometers diameter. 43 Ariadne and 624 Hektor are minor planet object articles (numbered) and named minor planets.

See 43 Ariadne and 624 Hektor

63 Ausonia

Ausonia (minor planet designation: 63 Ausonia) is a stony Vestian asteroid from the inner region of the asteroid belt, approximately 100 kilometers (60 miles) in diameter. 43 Ariadne and 63 Ausonia are minor planet object articles (numbered), named minor planets and s-type asteroids (Tholen).

See 43 Ariadne and 63 Ausonia
