An eccentricity of 0 means a perfectly circular path, while larger numbers indicate a more elongated ellipse. In terms of studying the hidden asteroids, the upcoming Vera Rubin Observatory offers ...

However, they may have to expand their search since astronomers are now finding asteroids co-orbiting Venus that could pose a threat. ... "There is a range of orbits with eccentricity < 0.38, ...

Now, with Venus in the innovative sign of Aquarius, we’re entering a new chapter, one that celebrates eccentricity and individual freedom in the world of fashion.

“Low-e [low eccentricity] Venus co-orbitals pose a unique challenge, because of the difficulties in detecting and following these objects from Earth,” the authors wrote in their conclusion.

Since then, astronomers have made major progress tracking down the rocky space debris, but a new study suggests there’s a population of asteroids lurking around Venus that could pose a problem.

An Earth-like planet orbiting a star one-quarter of the mass of our Sun with an eccentricity e > 0.2 in its habitable zone could experience what's called a “tidal Venus” catastrophe.

Their findings showed that a number of low-eccentricity asteroids—those with nearly circular orbits—could pose a real threat to Earth. Unfortunately, these are also the most difficult to detect.

Venus’ gravity shaved the spacecraft’s velocity from 82,785 mph (133,230 km/h) to 72,215 mph (116,220 km/h), bending its flight path and reshaping its elliptical solar orbit to intersect Mercury.
