If an astronomer claims to have discovered an object with a very eccentric orbit, what best describes the orbital trajectory of the object?

Explanation:

It would look like  a squashed oval.

An celestial object's orbital eccentricity is a dimensionless factor which specifies the extent through which its trajectory  about another body detracts from a complete circle. A measure of 0 is a circular orbit, numbers between 0 and 1 generate an elliptic orbit, a parabolic escaping orbit and a hyperbola for value greater than 1. For values far greater than one  it looks like  a squashed oval.

the binding energy is the energy required to create z separate protons and n=a-z separate neutrons from a (a,z) nucleus in its ground state. another way to think about it is binding energy is the mass energy which is missing from a nucleus compared to the mass energy of the individual nucleons.

i think it would be 5
