Oblate spheroid
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
An oblate spheroid was a geometric shape which the Fourth Doctor used to describe the planet Calufrax. (TV: The Pirate Planet)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Doctor never actually explains what an oblate spheroid is. However, the model for the miniaturised Calufrax does conform roughly to the shape of a real-life oblate spheroid.
