Perhaps you were educated in Serbia? They might cover in much more depth contributions from a significant Serb scientist than other countries.

From my recollection of what they covered in school it went no further than that the orbit is an ellipse. I got more detail from my years on the net.

I was not, I have never been to Serbia in my whole life.

I learned this in school nonetheless, I don't know what so say anymore. Many more had this covered in school as well, I believe, but hey, maybe you simply forgot? I find that lack in general education in that regard a bit disturbing.

But let me compliment you that you actually went ahead and learned a bit more about the details on your own volition. That means there are at least two of us on here..
