A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...
After running each scenario, the simulation would yield theoretical orbits for the four giant planets that should result from the encounter with that object. Most of the simulations created ...
An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit ...
Our Solar System is a carefully balanced celestial dance held together by a virtually perfect balance of gravity and inertia.
A super-Earth planet that dips in and out of its star's habitable zone has been discovered just 19.7 light-years away.
We might take it for granted that Earth is habitable year-round. Researchers have discovered an Earth-like planet with such an eccentric orbit that it swoops in and out of its habitable zone ...
those that are beyond the eighth planet, with highly “tilted” orbits compared to the ecliptic plane. This seemed odd and illogical as when the Solar system formed, it would be expected that ...
