And the tuning at aphelion indeed, as above, has the motions at aphelion of
Saturn, the Earth and Venus, and almost that of Jupiter, at G, e, and f) but the

From observations of the orbital motion of planets, especially of Mercury,
astronomers have discovered that the perihelion of the orbit is rotating. This
movement of the perihelion is called perihelion shift. The classical theories of
Kepler and ...

The optimum sail radius is 400km, peak acceleration is 1.87g and the perihelion
distance of the initially parabolic solar orbit is 0.044 AU. The total spacecraft
mass (sailpayloadcable) is about 1:1 Â 107 kg. So a great deal more theoretical

Robert J. Lambourne, 2010
When it reaches perihelion, its closest point to the Sun, the Sun's intense heat
boils off, or sublimates, the ices of the cometary nucleus. This causes a jet of
outgassed particles to stream away from the nucleus, and produces a reactive
force ...

... and assumed several perihelion distances 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 times the
earth's distance from the fun; and found that any perihelion distance between 14
and 18 would answer very well to the observations. Boscovich printed a Memoir ...

Comets and How to Observe Them
Another critical comet characteristic is the perihelion distance (q). Figure 1.34
shows the distribution of perihelion distances for all known comets except for a
few of them having q>7 au and those with a D/ designation. It is apparent that
there ...
