In a prolific career, Galileo's discoveries, including phases of Venus and moons orbiting Jupiter dealt a death blow to geocentric theory. |
I remember a blimp advertising a local Internet service provider orbiting annoyingly outside my window. |
It took about an hour to match velocities with the orbiting UFO, ample time for Erin to reaccustom himself to zero-G maneuvering. |
For interplanetary missions, such windows are much stricter than for satellites orbiting the Earth. |
I grimaced, as dutifully I passed the word to Mission Command in the orbiting HMS Cardiff above. |
The dishes send and receive signals off an orbiting network relay, which transmits messages to and from a central data center. |
