anomaly
An angle that gives the position of an object in an elliptical orbit at any given time.
Anomaly
From LoveToKnow 1911
ANOMALY (from Gr. avw,uaXla, unevenness, derived from a y -, privative, and ouaXbs, even), a deviation from the common rule.

For the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, see "Anomaly".
South Atlantic Anomaly
The part of the inner lying closest to the 's surface. It arises primarily because the 's magnetic field is offset from its center.
I would like to know more about the South Atlantic Anomaly. What are its boundaries?
The Answer ...
Anomaly The angle at the Sun between a planet and its perihelion.
Ansae Literally handles. Originally a description of the appearance of Saturn's rings before they were recognised as being a ring system.
Anomaly: A deviation from the common rule, type, or form; something abnormal or inconsistent.
Anorthosite: An igneous rock made up almost entirely of plagioclase feldspar. This rock is a major part of the lunar highlands.
Anomaly
An angular value used to describe the position of one member of a binary system with respect to the other.
Anomaly -- in orbital motion, one of the angles which gauges the motion of a planet or satellite around its orbit, increasing by 360o every revolution.
Mean Anomaly
The product of an orbiting body's mean motion and time past perihelion passage.
True anomaly -- The angular distance of a point in an orbit past the point of periapsis, measured in degrees.
Twilight -- For technical definition, please follow this link to the U.S. Naval Observatory Astronomical Applications website.
Winter anomaly
At mid-latitudes, the F2 layer daytime ion production is higher in the summer, as expected, since the sun shines more directly on the earth.
(a) Anomaly in space-time at which a state not in accord with the classical laws of physics obtains. An example is a black hole; another is the moment of the big bang. [A84] ...
The anomaly in the high-gain antenna pointing was recently discovered when engineers detected a discrepancy between the command and measured antenna position.
Another anomaly of the unforeseen gamma flare was that no unusual emission was detected in any other wavelength.
IRIDIUM ANOMALY
Iridium is an element that is rare on the Earth's surface, but abundant on chondritic meteors. The presence of excess Iridium at the K-T layer (the Iridium anomaly) supports the Alvarez asteroid theory.

South Atlantic Anomaly
the region over the South Atlantic Ocean where the lower Van Allen belt of energetic, electrically charged particles is particularly close to the Earth's surface.
The anomaly is the result of Bayer's distributing the Greek letters not so much in order of brightness in the constellation but in order of position: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma lie at the northern end of the sprawling figure, ...
Hipparchus devised a geometrical method to find the parameters from three positions of the Moon, at particular phases of its anomaly. In fact, he did this separately for the eccentric and the epicycle model.
the polar angle from closest approach is given the odd name: true anomaly. The timing of the motion (i.e., when the planet or electron has a particular ) is a bit complex.
A very simply quasiphenomenological explanation of the Woody- Richard anomaly is a postulated non-vanishing isotropic angular momentum for the CBR in, for example, the vicinity of the Local Group.
Observations cannot take place when the telescope passes through the South Atlantic Anomaly due to elevated radiation levels, and there are also sizable exclusion zones around the Sun (precluding observations of Mercury), Moon and Earth.
We also had a data anomaly in that the final data set of solar zenith angle was bimodal. Both modes were a normal distribution, but while one was centered on the correct value the other was centered 3 degrees away.
2010 analysis, in which we conducted research on the Azimuth Anomaly, created a fault tree and finally formed a conclusion/theory on the anomaly for John Hickman (operations manager of the Sounding Rockets Program Office at Wallops).
At one time, Saturn, with it's beautiful ring system, was thought to be an anomaly in the Solar System: why did Saturn, and no other planet, have rings?
where a is the semi-major axis, r is the radius vector, is the true anomaly (measured anticlockwise) and e is the eccentricity. An ellipse has an eccentricity in the range 0 < e < 1, while a circle is the special case e=0.
An anomaly in this view of the universe is that instead of a mixture of galactic types, one type predominates: small, compact galaxies containing far fewer stars than the Milky Way or others of its kind.
Orbital elements defining the position and speed of a planet in its orbit are orbital velocity (v), mean anomaly (M), and mean daily motion (d).
In September 1997, Mars Global Surveyor succeeded in detecting a very weak Martian field, about 800 times weaker than Earth's; this is probably a local anomaly, not a global field.
During their survey they found an anomaly which finally turned out to be the signals of an fast rotating neutron star. The pulses came 8and still come) every 1.3373 seconds - to regular to be associated with any other object.
The six orbital elements used for comets are usually the following: time of perihelion passage (T) [sometimes taken instead as an angular measure called "mean anomaly", M]; perihelion distance (q), usually given in AU; eccentricity (e) of the orbit; ...
The yellow-brown anomaly appears to the center-left of the LEFTimage (Grafton) and CENTER image (Kumamori) and more to the center in the RIGHTimage (Gu Yu). Notice the yellow-brown hollow in the SPC. Figure 6-10.
