Inclination is the angle at which an astronomical object's orbit is tilted relative to a reference plane. It is one of the fundamental measurements astronomers use to describe the orientation of an orbit in space. Planets generally travel close to the same orbital plane, while comets, asteroids, and other bodies may cross it at dramatic angles. Where an inclined orbit intersects that plane, it creates ascending and descending nodes.
Framing Note: Frames are selected by the artist and are included primarily to protect the artwork during handling and transit. Collectors are welcome to reframe the artwork after receipt according to their personal preference.
