Eccentric anomaly

See also: Anomaly

The eccentric anomaly is the angle between the direction of the Périapse and the current position of an object on its Orbite, projected on the circle exinscrit perpendicular to the Main roads of the ellipse, measured in the center of this one. In the diagram below, it is E, the angle zcx.

Item X is obtained by projecting p on the circle exinscrit, perpendicular to the large-axis of the ellipse.
