In physics, an orbit is the path that an object makes, around another object, whilst under the influence of a source of centripetal force, such as gravity. ... The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. ...

This article is about several astronomical terms (apogee & perigee, aphelion & perihelion, generic equivalents based on apsis, and related but rarer terms. ... The astronomical unit (AU or au or a. ... The orbital period is the time it takes a planet (or another object) to make one full orbit. ... A year is the time between two recurrences of an event related to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. ... Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ... In astrodynamics, under standard assumptions any orbit must be of conic section shape. ... For the geometric term, see diameter. ... A kilometre (American spelling: kilometer), symbol: km is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1000 metres (from the Greek words χίλια (khilia) = thousand and μέτρο (metro) = count/measure). ... In astronomy, a rotation period is the time an astronomical object takes to complete one revolution around its rotation axis. ... The hour (symbol: h) is a unit of time. ... In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away. ... The albedo is a measure of reflectivity of a surface or body. ... Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peters (September 19, 1813 – July 18, 1890) was an American astronomer, and one of the first to discover asteroids. ... 1866 is a common year starting on Monday. ... The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. ... An asteroid is a small, solid object in our Solar System, orbiting the Sun. ...

It was discovered by C. H. F. Peters on June 15, 1866 and named after Thisbe, heroine of a Roman fable. Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peters (September 19, 1813 – July 18, 1890) was an American astronomer, and one of the first to discover asteroids. ...

The Roman Forum was the central area around which ancient Rome developed. ... In its strict sense a fable is a short story or folk tale embodying a moral, which may be expressed explicitly at the end as a maxim. ...

An occultation of a star by Thisbe was observed on October 7, 1981. Results from the occultation indicate a larger than expected diameter of 232 km.
