Astronomers have identified a vast, cotton-candy–light “super‑puff” world that loops around its star in a wildly misaligned ...

Forty light-years away, seven Earth-sized planets orbit around a dim red dwarf star in one of the most tightly packed ...

How did hot Jupiters end up orbiting so close to their stars, thus earning their moniker? This is what a recent study ...

New simulations examine whether the seven planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system could host moons, showing that only small, close-orbiting moons could remain stable over long periods ...

In this video, we dive deep into the concept of circular orbits within the Three-Body Problem. Explore how gravity, motion, and complex interactions between three celestial bodies create fascinating ...

Abstract: The space environment consists of various complex phenomena, which could have a strong influence on the spacecraft operation in different aspects. Since the very beginning of space ...

As hundreds of spectators witnessed the mission from the launch gallery, the Satellite, the second <br />mission involving US after the NISAR satellite, was successfully and precisely injected into a ...

Hot Jupiters were once cosmic oddities, but unraveling how they moved so close to their stars has remained a stubborn mystery. Scientists have long debated whether these giants were violently flung ...

Abstract: Periodic orbits are among the simplest non-equilibrium solutions to dynamical systems, and they play a significant role in our modern understanding of the rich structures observed in many ...
