Long ago, a planetary object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have once visited the solar system and altered […] The post ...

The orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune may have been forever changed by an enormous object that whizzed through our solar system billions of years ago.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit ...

A new study suggests that a close encounter with a massive interstellar object, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of the four outer planets in our ...

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 ...

HD 20794d orbits its star with two other super-Earth planets, designated b and c, which orbit their star every 18.3 and 89.6 days, respectively. These were discovered in 2011 by a team of Geneva ...

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 ...

When I think of iconic PC genres, theme park builders are easily at the top of the list. From RollerCoaster Tycoon to Theme Park, the world of management and strategy sim games wouldn’t be the ...
