In a groundbreaking new study, researchers have unveiled the existence of a “cosmic highway”—a pathway of interstellar ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — New observational data and simulation models have confirmed a new type of planet unlike anything found in the Solar System. This provides another piece of the puzzle to ...

A new study rewrites the story of human evolution, suggesting that intelligent life is not rare but a natural planetary ...

Canadian astronomers have taken an extraordinary step in understanding how planets are born, using the James Webb Space ...

Prevailing solar system formation theories indicate that these planets should have at least started out following perfectly circular and share the same orbit. But today, their paths are slightly ...

The eight planets in our solar system orbit the sun in roughly the same plane, because they all originally formed from the same disc of debris around the sun. The line the sun traces across the ...

However, our own Solar System doesn’t follow this idealized model. Instead ... times that of Jupiter could have traveled within the orbit of Uranus, moving at a speed of 2.69 km/s.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

"In about 1604, Johannes Kepler fitted an ellipse model of Mars' orbit to observations ... They emerge from the farthest reaches of the solar system, way beyond the orbit of Neptune, then zip ...

Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in different orbits in three-dimensional space. Scientists have claimed that an interstellar visitor, much larger than any celestial body in our solar ...

Louis Moinet shifts watch buying from a retail transaction into something far more intimate. Here's how the brand has ...

2D Simulation of Solar System using pure ES 6. Orbits computed with real coefficients (AU scaled to pixels). Main belt asteroids' eccentricities generated with Rayleigh distribution. Welcome to Space ...
