1. x-axis

   A Cartesian coordinate system (UK: , US: ) in a plane is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular oriented lines called coordinate line is called a coordinate axis or just axis (plural axes) of the system, and the point where they meet is the origin and has (0, 0) as coordinates. Similarly, the position of any point in three-dimensional space can be specified by three Cartesian coordinates, which the signed distances from the point to three mutually perpendicular planes. In general, n Cartesian coordinates specify the point in an n-dimensional Euclidean space for any dimension n. These coordinates are the signed distances from the point to n mutually perpendicular fixed hyperplanes. Cartesian coordinates are named for René Descartes whose invention of them in the 17th century revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between geometry and algebra. Using the Cartesian coordinate system, geometric shapes (such as curves) can be described by equations involving the coordinates of points of the shape. For example, a circle of radius 2, centered at the origin of the plane, may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x2 + y2 = 4. Cartesian coordinates are the foundation of analytic geometry, and provide enlightening geometric interpretations for many other branches of mathematics, such as linear algebra, complex analysis, differential geometry, multivariate calculus, group theory and more. A familiar example is the concept of the graph of a function. Cartesian coordinates are also essential tools for most applied disciplines that deal with geometry, including astronomy, physics, engineering and many more. They are the most common coordinate system used in computer graphics, computer-aided geometric design and other geometry-related data processing.

1. x-axis

   The x-axis is one of the two lines in a two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system that extend as a horizontal straight line in a graph. It is used to define horizontal position in terms of left or right. On the plane, points on the x-axis have a y-coordinate of zero. It is also where the value of a point is listed on the horizontal (left and right) scale.

   This is where the magic happens; four motors are allowing it to perform any movement, so you can really move it in the air like a flying eye, there is a computer on board which knows exactly how it's orientated in the world, and then it gives commands to the motors to actually align it to where you want it to be. And there are four motors on it which can rotate around their axis and with them you can precisely control it in any environment, basically.

5. Francis Cardinal George, OMI:

   Jesus Christ is the end of the ages, the axis of time. In him, the salvation which is the future that God has in store for us has already broken into time.
