The true anomaly of a trajectory with this shape with respect to time can be found from Barker’s equation. The proposal of flight with this shape to simulate zero-gravity was hypothesized by the Haber brothers, leading to the development of NASA’s “Vomit Comet.” Perfect orbits with this shape while hypothetically possible don’t exist in nature because of the necessity of traveling at an object's exact escape velocity. (*) Mirrors with this two dimensional shape can collimate light from a point source or send straight parallel rays to a common focus point. Galileo gave instructions on how to draw one of these shapes in Two New Sciences, in which he also notably demonstrated a certain motion had this shape. For 10 points, name this shape of the trajectory of classical projectile motion. ■END■
