so, find endpoints of the major axis and minor axis
since the center is at origin, half of the major axis is left y-axis ad half of the major axis is right of y-axis
endpoints of the major axis are:
(a,0)=(186014000%2F2+,0)=(93007000,0)
(-a,0)=(-186014000%2F2+,0)=(-93007000,0)
the minor axis is above x-axis ad half of the minor axis is below x-axis
and minor axis endpoints are:
(0,b)=(0,185987932.9%2F2+)=(0,92994000)
(0,-b)=(0,-185987932.9%2F2+)=(0,-92994000)
