Stability of the Solar System essentially the distance from sun to earth). These are now known as the Kirkwood gaps. Some asteroids were later discovered to orbit in these gaps, but their orbits are unstable and they will eventually break out of the resonance due to close encounters with a major planet. Another common form of resonance in the Solar System is spin–orbit resonance, where the period of spin (the time it takes the planet or moon to rotate once about its axis) has a simple numerical relationship with its orbital period. An example is our own Moon, which is in a 1:1 spin–orbit resonance
Egdon Heath (Holst) Holst considered the work his most perfectly realised composition, an opinion shared by Ralph Vaughan Williams and others. But it has never had the profile of works such as "The Planets" and "St Paul's Suite". In 1934 Edwin Evans speculated on why the public had not yet shared the composer's assessment: Egdon Heath (Holst) Egdon Heath, Op. 47, H. 172, subtitled "A Homage to Thomas Hardy", is a tone poem by Gustav Holst, written in 1927.
