Mercury is not tidally locked to the Sun, but it is in a spin-orbit resonance with the Sun. In a tidally locked orbit, the spin period and orbit are the same, 1:1. But for Mercury, that ratio is at 3:2. That is, Mercury rotates exactly three times every two orbits.

BOOMERS: but if we get it wrong we’ll spin out of orbit, killing us all
MILLENNIALS: I’m not hearing a downside

Both come from binary black holes where one black hole is much larger than the other. The larger black holes have large spin. Could these black holes have formed in a previous merger?

Neptune's largest moon, Triton, orbits backwards! It is the only large moon in the solar system to have a retrograde orbit (opposite direction to Neptune's spin). This odd orbit points to a likely origin for Triton as a captured former dwarf planet from the Kuiper belt.

- Create a sequence
- Select a root entity for the sequence
- Create a track and select track entity
- Add motion path and change shape to Orbit
We can adjust nodes, path axis, and even enable entity spin during the orbit.

stop thinking w/ your dick or else i'll grab you by it and spin you so fast that i throw you into orbit so you can never use the internet again

Shortest day
longest night
darkness curtain
at its Southern limit
earth, trees, plants
rest, decay, die
blue-green planet
spin now your orbit
towards the light once more
so we will experience
new life, eternal hope

I’ve been obsessed with the colors of Celestial Park, so I had to put my own spin on the Chronos gates.

There are over 6700 active satellites in orbit above us! These are in three main types of orbits: LEO (low Earth), MEO (medium Earth), and GEO (geostationary). LEO is by *far* the most common and takes ~1.5 hours to orbit the Earth.
