I always thought General Relativity predicts rosetta orbits even for the trajectory of the Earth around the sun, only that the rotation of the rosetta's lobes is very slow. Benjamin.friedrich (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 09:28, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
No need for a black hole
editI think you"re right. All orbits are hypotrochoidal. No need for a black hole. In our solar system, Mercury's orbit is the only one with significant residual apsidal precession, once the influence of the other planets have been taken into account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:B100:E020:7CC7:D802:6D63:35F6:EB3A (talk) 19:58, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
Rosetta or Rosette?
editMost astronomy sources refer to this as a rosette-shaped orbit, rather than a rosetta orbit. Praemonitus (talk) 06:43, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
