EXAMPLE 39. Triton is Neptune’s PRIMARY (ie:- LARGEST) Satellite. This image depicts the ANGLES rotated during One Triton Orbital Period by Triton’s Two “Size Neighbours” (Neptune and Proteus).
Once again, we see (glaringly, blindingly obvious!) “OCTANT HUGGING”. Once again Newtonian Physics is absolutely impotent as far as providing an explanation.
DEMONSTRATION:- If you create a list of bodies belonging to a particular (astronomical) system – arranged in size order, then adjacent members on this list are “size neighbours”. Triton is Neptune’s Primary (ie:- LARGEST) satellite. Triton’s “size neighbours” are Neptune and Proteus.
Neptune’s rotation period = 0.671252 Earth days.
Triton’s orbital period = 5.8768441 Earth days.
Proteus’ orbital period = 1.122315 Earth days.
(Both these satellite rotation periods are equal to their orbital periods, due to “tidal locking”.)
During one Triton rotation period, Neptune rotates
(5.8768441 ÷ 0.671252) = 8.7550 rotations.
0.7550 x 360 = 271.8 degrees.
That is 8 complete rotations + 271.8 degrees.
During one Triton rotation period, Proteus rotates
(5.8768441 ÷ 1.122315) = 5.2364 rotations.
0.2364 x 360 = 85.1 degrees.
That is 5 complete rotations + 85.1 degrees.
