Orbital (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (509 words)
Orbital was an English techno duo formed in 1989, consisting of brothers Paul and Phil Hartnoll.
Orbital took its name from the raves that occurred in the late 1980s near the M25 orbital motorway that circles London.
Orbital is sometimes confused with The Orb, a similarly named band that has also been very influential in the realm of electronic music.
Planetary orbit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2511 words)
The gravity of the orbiting object raises tidal bulges in the primary, and since below the synchronous orbit the orbiting object is moving faster than the body's surface the bulges lag a short angle behind it.
When atomic structure was first probed experimentally early in the twentieth century, an early picture of the atom portrayed it as a miniature solar system bound by the coulomb force rather than by gravity.
This was inconsistent with electrodynamics and the model was progressively refined as quantum theory evolved, but there is a legacy of the picture in the term orbital for the wave function of an energetically bound electron state.
