The Road to Frontenac Instead of this they are as a circle might look if it were pressed in from two sides, and this is called an ellipse. The Children's Book of Stars He surmised also that gravity was the force concerned, and asserted that the path of an ordinary projectile was an ellipse, like the path of a planet—which is quite right. Pioneers of Science As a matter of fact it is merely a special kind of ellipse. Astronomy of To-day A Popular Introduction in Non-Technical Language By continuing this process, the ellipse passes insensibly into a parabola; and, ultimately, by still further diminishing the angle, into an hyperbola.

Wild Life on the Rockies To judge that their path was not a straight line but a circle or ellipse was the next step, and this was found to be the case. The Children's Book of Stars The fact that the force varies as the inverse square of the distance, necessitates motion in an ellipse, or some other conic section, with the sun in one focus. Pioneers of Science To put it paradoxically, it is an ellipse which has no ellipticity, an oval without any ovalness!

The cells in the Tombs are arranged in rows in the form of an ellipse in the centre of each of the six floors. The Third Degree A Narrative of Metropolitan Life After years of careful observation and study, Kepler arrived at the conclusion that the form of the planet’s orbit is an ellipse, and that the Sun occupies one of the foci. The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' It is instructive to remember that it is really an ellipse with one focus very distant, but not at infinity. Pioneers of Science A spacious flight of steps conducts to a noble hall, in form an ellipse, and surmounted by a dome. Pilgrimage from the Alps to the Tiber Or The Influence of Romanism on Trade, Justice, and Knowledge Three months later it would appear to be at 2, and thus as we move round our orbit the star itself appears to move in the ellipse 1, 2, 3, 4. The Beauties of Nature and the Wonders of the World We Live In The quantity to be determined, or "mean distance," is that lying midway between these extremes—is, in other words, half the major axis of the ellipse in which the earth travels.

A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition The orbit described by every planet is an ellipse, of which the centre of the Sun occupies one of the foci. The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' Mutual perturbations, especially the pull of Jupiter, prevent the path of a planet from being really and truly an ellipse, or indeed from being any simple re-entrant curve. Pioneers of Science Its ellipse is composed of eight voussoirs, four on each side, and a key with a small wedge-shaped stone voussoir on each side of it. A History of Art in Chaldæa & Assyria, v. 1 We could view the enclosed ellipse longitudinally, and note nearly every movement made by those inside. The Wild Huntress Love in the Wilderness The typical cometary orbit, apart from disturbance, is parabolic—that is to say, it is indistinguishable from an enormously long ellipse. A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition The ellipse described by this pair is the most eccentric of known binary orbits, and approaches in form the path pursued by Encke’s comet round the Sun. The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost' You know that the earth describes an elliptic orbit round the sun: and that an ellipse is a circle with a certain amount of flattening or "excentricity." Pioneers of Science The Christian civilization of the nineteenth century is well summed up in London and New York—the two foci of the Anglo-Saxon tribe, which control the shape of the world's commercial ellipse. History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I The figure that fulfils these conditions is an oblate spheroid, the axis of the generating ellipse coinciding with the polar diameter of the body.

Museum of Antiquity A Description of Ancient Life The base, by the stroke, is changed into an ellipse or oval, whose longer axis passes through the part against which the clapper is struck. Popular Lectures on Zoonomia Or The Laws of Animal Life, in Health and Disease Moreover, when a planet possesses a satellite, it is not the centre of the planet which ever attempts to describe the Keplerian ellipse, but it is the common centre of gravity of the two bodies. Pioneers of Science The intersection of the two circular arches produces an ellipse with a very flat crown, and very liable to fail. Scientific American Supplement, No. 647, May 26, 1888 The reflector is represented by a portion of an ellipse so calculated that one of the foci corresponds to the lamp and the other to the extremity of the instrument. Scientific American Supplement, No. 488, May 9, 1885 As seen from the earth it appears a narrow ellipse, but we could see its full width, which is 129 miles, the length being 148 miles.

Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 3, Part 1, Slice 2 "Baconthorpe" to "Bankruptcy" Kepler, replaced them all by a simple ellipse. Pioneers of Science It can be demonstrated that when three positions of a planet are known, then the ellipse in which the planet moves is completely determined. The Story of the Heavens For horizontal surfaces it is better because it is there always an ellipse to vision, and the ellipse has a less dull and stupefying effect. The Sense of Beauty Being the Outlines of Aesthetic Theory If the surface of the ground is horizontal, the form of the beaten zone is that of an ellipse with its longer axis in the direction of the line of fire, as shown in Fig. Manual of Military Training Second, Revised Edition If the extremities of the Greek cross be connected by arcs, a circle will result, and if the Latin cross be so bounded we will have a kite-shape, or ellipse. Pictorial Composition and the Critical Judgment of Pictures Yes, the curve so described by the planet is a comparatively simple one: it is a special kind of oval—the ellipse. Pioneers of Science At the end of one century, or even of many centuries, the shape, the size, and the position of that ellipse would remain unaltered. The Story of the Heavens But what does the circle express except circularity, or the oval except the nature of the ellipse? The Sense of Beauty Being the Outlines of Aesthetic Theory You may remember that I have previously stated that an ellipse has a centre and two foci, in view of all the particles which compose the curve, and connected with them by close ties.

The ellipse of the three figures is beautifully carried out, but it leaves one of them, the most important, in the least important place. Pictorial Composition and the Critical Judgment of Pictures It is now thought possible that it may not be quite a parabola, but an ellipse so elongated that it will not return till 2255. Pioneers of Science The ellipse described by the planet is consequently not invariable. The Story of the Heavens Secondly, "an ellipse or oval" is composed of four arcs of circles.
