The more easily visible outlier in Saturn's famous bands of ice and dust is its E-ring, which encompasses the orbit of the moon Enceladus.
It better accounted for oddities of nature, such as anomalies in the orbit of Mercury, that classical physics, as formulated by Newton, could not explain.

Eventually, when it is within the orbit of Mercury, the innermost planet, it will tack, turn its sail to the sun, and start to accelerate outwards again.

This will push the dust through the orbits where space junk can be found, and the resulting drag will, in theory, disrupt the orbit of the small debris.

Their orbital periods range from ten to 118 terrestrial days, which would put all but one of them inside the orbit of Mercury, were they going round the sun.

Fellow tracker Ted Molczan from Toronto, Canada, has been trying to determine the precise orbit of Phobos-Grunt around the Earth, and thought on Friday he had seen the craft rise slightly.
Going back to the example of the sun's motion under the influence of Jupiter, the sun wobbles by about 1.5m kilometres from side to side with every orbit of the planet.
Yeomans and colleagues are using telescopes on the ground and in space to nail down the precise orbit of objects that might threaten Earth and predict whether the planet could be hit.
An anomaly in the orbit of Mercury provided one of the first clues that the laws of gravity as described by Newton were incomplete, which, in turn, led Einstein to general relativity.
