I think this has the same issue as the other paragraph used to have. It  
could be resolved by something like s/center/center, orientation/, or by  
somehow saying "the unique ellipse <among those mentioned earlier> passing  
through that point", though I can't think of a neat way of phrasing that.

I'll try to stop with the fussiness now... except for a language nitpick:  
I'm pretty sure it's "axes", not "axises" (since we're not talking about  
the deer here).
