Meanings of watermelon-shaped in английском

A point outside the rim traces out a prolate cycloid, with a backward loop.

A few stars now had pierced the blue, and in the east there shone brightly a prolate moon.

This is consistent with a highly asymmetric molecule such as the prolate ellipsoid suggested by the other physical measurements.

Small-angle X-ray scattering analysis indicated that the enzyme had a prolate ellipsoidal structure with an ellipsoid cavity in the center.

By comparing several candidate space-filling polyhedra, we find that the oblate shapes are preferred over prolate shapes for all volume-to-surface ratios.
