I have improved the formula to read 1-3(a-b)^2/(a+b)^2). All objects in
closed orbits around the sun have an X constant between .8 and 1. Halley's comet has an X of about .85. A circular orbit has an X constant of 1.. Orbits are subject to the Law of X.
Where is the improvement wrt the eccentricity e = sqrt(1-(b/a)^2 ) ?
P.S.: As that has the very particular geometrical meaning
of relative position of an ellipse focus on the major semi-axis.
I have simplified the formula by removing the sqrt part.
It is oversimplified in a not useful way.
Similarly as if you would like to get rid of sqrt
in the formula of Pythagoras.

sqrt is not necessary for my formula but irreplaceable in Pythagoras
