Planet demographics reveal a puzzling lack of worlds in a certain size range throughout the galaxy F or centuries our solar system was the only planetary system known to humans. We had no proof other ...

A planet-size object that possibly once visited the solar system may have permanently changed our cosmic neighborhood by warping the orbits of the ... Using computer models of the four outer ...

The climate on such a world must be beyond bizarre. A super-Earth planet that dips in and out of its star's habitable zone has been discovered just 19.7 light-years away. The planet, known as HD ...

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites ...

The discovery of the exoplanet, which orbits a star outside the solar system, challenges how experts ... the researchers put together theoretical models that could explain the data.

Mini-Neptunes are the most numerous of the more than 5,800 confirmed exoplanets at time of writing, which is interesting, because we have nothing directly analogous to them here in our Solar System ..

Keep your eyes on the sky. Six planets in our solar system are coming into alignment and will be visible from Earth. AccuWeather says Saturn, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars will be ...

While most models of solar system formation predict perfectly circular and coplanar orbits for the planets, reality presents a slightly different picture. Successful Simulations: Approximately 1% ...

The novel methodology was introduced in the study “A spatio-temporal decision-making model for solar, wind, and hybrid systems – A case study of Saudi Arabia,” published in Applied Energy.

This may explain the strange properties of the orbits of our solar system's planets, which are not quite perfectly circular, and all lie on slightly different planes. NASA artist’s conception of ...

Astronomers and space enthusiasts are in for a treat next month as we can expect a rare planetary parade. This celestial event will see Mercury joining Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and ...
