This article lack sources. ALL of the information in it is incorrect. Not a single fact is true in the article for for central body either. I'm nominating them for deletion.

In astrophysics, the "central" body is known as the "primary". And the "orbiting" body is known as the "secondary". [1].

It's not a "standard assumption" that an "orbiting body" has an insignificant mass relative to the primary.

The central body is not at the "elliptical foci". The focus cooincides with the center of mass, and the orbit does not have to be an ellipse. --16:02, 27 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Norbeck (talkcontribs)

... looks like it might be better as part of a glossary, or on Wiktionary...

There is one source on the first paragraph. However, 76.66.192.73, I like your idea. TheSmartPersonUS1 (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
