English: Irregular satellites of Neptune. Plotted by a program written by Eurocommuter.
The position of a satellite represents
its orbit’s semi-major axis a in Gm (horizontal axis)
orbit’s inclination i in degrees (vertical axis).
the size of the circle illustrates the satellites's size relative to others:
The eccentricity of the orbit is shown indirectly by a segment extending from the left (pericenter) to the apocentre to the right. In other words, the segment illustrates the variations of the object's distance from the planet.
Satellites beneath the axis (i>90) are retrograde.
Deutsch: Die irregulären Satelliten von Uranus. Geplottet durch ein Programm, geschrieben von Eurocommuter.
Die Position der Satelliten repräsentiert:
die Halbachse seines Umlaufs in Gm (Kilometer) (Horizontale achse)
Die Neigung der Umlaufbahn in Grad (vertikale Achse).
die Größe des Kreises illustriert die relative Größe des Mondes im Vergleich zu anderen Monden:
Die Exzentriät des Umlaufs wird indirekt duch ein Segement, das sich vom Perizenter (links) zum Apozenter (rechts) erstreckt. Mit anderen Worten illustrieren die Segmente die Variationen der Abstände zum Planeten.
Monde unter den Achsen (i>90) bewegen sich rückläufig.
