Planet $M$ orbits around its sun,$S$,in an elliptical orbit with the sun at one of the foci. When $M$ is closest to $S$,it is $2$ units away. When $M$ is farthest from $S$,it is $18$ units away. Assuming $S$ is at the origin $(0, 0)$ and the other focus lies on the negative $y$-axis,find the equation of the elliptical orbit of planet $M$.
