Betacoronavirus the Latin “corona” meaning crown or halo, referring to their image under electron microscopy of crown-like spikes on their surface similar to the solar corona. This morphology is created by the viral spike (S) peplomers, which are proteins that populate the surface of the virus and determine host tropism. The order Nidovirales is named for the Latin nidus, which means nest. It refers to this order’s production of a 3' co-terminal nested set of subgenomic mRNA's during infection. Betacoronavirus Betacoronaviruses are one of four genera of coronaviruses of the subfamily "Coronavirinae" in the family "Coronaviridae", of the order "Nidovirales". They
Halo orbit Halo orbit A halo orbit is a periodic, three-dimensional orbit near the L, L or L Lagrange points in the three-body problem of orbital mechanics. Although the Lagrange point is just a point in empty space, its peculiar characteristic is that it can be orbited. Halo orbits can be thought of as resulting from an interaction between the gravitational pull of the two planetary bodies and the Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations on a spacecraft. Halo orbits exist in any three-body system, e.g. the Sun–Earth system and the Earth–Moon system. Continuous "families" of both Northern and Southern halo orbits exist at
