True Anomaly in Hyperbolic Orbits Formulas

True Anomaly measures the angle between the object’s current position and the perigee (the point of closest approach to the central body) when viewed from the focus of the orbit. And is denoted by θ. True Anomaly is usually measured using the Degree for Angle. Note that the value of True Anomaly is always negative.
