A Popular History of Astronomy During the Nineteenth Century Fourth Edition Circling round this globe four other spheres revolved in orbits, some almost circular, some elliptical, some parabolic. The Crack of Doom Their orbits are never like circles; they are, indeed, more usually parabolic, and thus differ as widely as possible from the circular path. The Story of the Heavens In the present instance, the correspondence showed that the paradoxist supposed the parabolic paths of some comets to be regarded by astronomers as analogous to the parabolic paths traversed by projectiles.
