<UmbralRaptor> (checking for a paper on historical numbers of clear nights)
<egg|laptop|egg> B787_300: J2 is zonal
<egg|laptop|egg> for sectoral harmonics, you want Cnn Snn
<UmbralRaptor> Huh. this paper claims that their 3.5 m is the largest in continental Europe. (But what about ВТА-6?)
<B787_300> UmbralRaptor: Russia isnt Europe?
<B787_300> well parts of it arent
<B787_300> and isnt the BTA-6 in the Asia Part?
<UmbralRaptor> That telescope is in the European part!
<UmbralRaptor> (If kinda near the Georgian border)
<B787_300> thanks egg|laptop|egg, but a smidge late, actually dug out my modern orbital dynamics text book
* egg|laptop|egg sneaks the principia documentation onto B787_300's bookshelf
<B787_300> egg|laptop|egg: i am stuck trying to teach a EE orbital mechnics
<B787_300> which is both fun and a challenge
<egg|laptop|egg> hm
<egg|laptop|egg> I don't kow much about EEs
<egg|laptop|egg> I could help you teach a pure mathematician
<B787_300> as she gets stuff that most wouldnt, but has had the hardest time understanding the 6 classical Orbital elements and Eccentric and Mean Anomaly
<egg|laptop|egg> the eccentric anomaly is neither very intuitive nor very practically useful tbh, it's more of a convenient intermediate construction
<egg|laptop|egg> (the equinoctial elements are extremely useful otoh)
<B787_300> she hasnt gotten there yet and dont want to confuse her
<egg|laptop|egg> the mean anomaly is time that pretends to be an angle, so that's also confusing
<B787_300> i spent a couple hours today trying to explain an odd combination of hohmann transfers and why there are critical inclinations that are fun to mess around with
<B787_300> in which i happened to mention J2 and J4
<B787_300> she thinks i would make a good professor
<B787_300> which is funny to me, as I think i would be terrible
