ascending node

It is the angle between the ascending node and the body.

The ascending node is where the moon crosses to the north of the ecliptic.

The position of the ascending node, or the point where the comet crossed the terrestrial orbit.

Two parameters remain unknown: inclination and longitude of the ascending node.

This eclipse at the moon's ascending node was the second of two lunar eclipses to occur in 2007.

The satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit with an ascending node time of about 9 AM.

This eclipse is the third of four lunar year eclipses occurring at the moon's ascending node.

Such occultations occur when the Moon's ascending node is near the autumnal equinox.

This regression means that the time between each passage of the Moon through the ascending node is slightly shorter than the sidereal month.

In the case of equatorial orbits (which have no ascending node), the argument is strictly undefined.

If the orbit is retrograde the the increases and the longitude of the ascending node decreases.

The three orbital planes' ascending nodes are separated by 120 with each plane containing eight equally spaced satellites.

Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon)

The draconic or nodical month is the average interval between two successive transits of the moon through its ascending node.

Argument of periapsis () defines the angle between the ascending node and the periapsis.

If the inclination is 0, there is no ascending node, so ω is measured from the reference direction.

This eclipse was one of four lunar eclipses in a short-lived series at the ascending node of the Moon's orbit.

The symbol of the ascending node is , the astronomical and astrological symbol for the Dragon's head.

A greater range of values existed for the argument of perihelion and longitude of the ascending node.

Longitude of the ascending node, one of the orbital elements used to specify the orbit of an object in space.

Longitude of the ascending node (Ω)

In this case, the longitude is also called the right ascension of the ascending node, or RAAN.

It was operated in Plane 3 of the Iridium satellite constellation, with an ascending node of 230.9 .

The two main orbital elements that are measured with respect to the plane of reference are the inclination and the longitude of the ascending node.

Sometimes, the term longitude of periapsis is used to refer to ω, the angle between the ascending node and the periapsis.
