And again — like Copernicus’s model and the geocentric model both — the predictions of his own model couldn’t quite match the observed motions of all of the planets, especially Mars.

Planets may begin forming much earlier than scientists once believed during the final stages of a star s birth, not afterward. This bold new model, backed by simulations from researchers at SwRI ...

Pouring rain didn't dampen the spirits Saturday of about 100 people who gathered to witness the unveiling of a scale-model solar system at the McCarthy Observatory in New Milford.

Our framework is available as an open-source computer model, which astrobiologists can now readily use and further develop to help with current and future projects.
