The Solar System remains a unique natural laboratory for exploring the processes that govern planetary formation, evolution and dynamics. Contemporary research continues to refine our understanding of ...

When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...

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, but there ...

For centuries, astronomers have sought to understand the formation and evolution of the solar system and the dynamics that govern it. In particular, there is the long-standing question of whether or ...

In the vast calm of the solar system, planetary orbits often appear orderly, stable, and insulated from the broader mechanics of the galaxy. Earth circles the Sun with regularity. The outer planets ...

The Sun is an incandescent but benevolent dictator. For billions of years, it’s kept our star system well organized through the influence of its powerful gravity. All the planets revolve around it on ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract In this study we used the observed perihelion precession of planetary orbits in the Solar System in order to constrain theory of Yukawa-type ...

Learn how to build a 3D solar system simulation using Python! This tutorial guides you through coding planetary motion, visualizing orbits, and creating an interactive model of our solar system.

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. When ...

Bad news, earthlings. Computer simulations of the solar system’s future reveal a new risk facing us all: The gravitational tug of a passing star could either cause another planet to smack into Earth ...

Astronomers have revealed new research showing that millions of new solar system objects are likely to be detected by a brand-new facility, which is expected to come online later this year.
