The article says "<math display="inline">v_\infty \,</math> is the [[orbital speed|orbital velocity]] when the orbital distance tends to infinity". I don't really understand this definition, especially in the context of the pork-chop plot. Wouldn't the orbital velocity tend to zero as distance approaches infinity? Obviously I'm missing something. Can someone explain this concept in more detail in the article, possibly with an example?

The graph on the [[:sk:Graf_rezov_charakteristickej_energie_C3|Slovak version of the article ]] looks rather as a butterfly than pork.
 
The title translated to English is "C3 Characteristic Energy Contours". Shouldn't the English version also use the more neutral name without meat analogies? [[Special:Contributions/5.173.127.102|5.173.127.102]] ([[User talk:5.173.127.102|talk]]) 09:07, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
