It oscillates. But how many times a day? That's the twist.https://twitter.com/InertialObservr/status/1156959502438031361?s=19 …

i definitely agree! I would say that the "twist" would be the third tweet about orbits.. but i always try to aim for an element of "surprise"

Oh, I missed that one. How wonderful. Thanks for mentioning it else I would have missed it. Science and Math are eternal treasure hunts ..... There could be other treasure hunts but this one is my favourite.
