An artist's depiction of a hot Jupiter planet orbiting its star. Skewed planetary pathways around a star aren't so strange after all. But fresh research led by Yale University shows that even ...

A massive interstellar object passing through our solar system during its formative years likely altered the orbits of planets into trajectories observed today, a new study says. Interactions with ...

Scientists have been trying to find a hypothetical Planet 9 that may exist outside our known solar system based on the unusual orbits of certain dwarf planets. But those orbits might not require a ...

Four exoplanets, each larger than Jupiter, orbit HR8799, represented by the yellow star shape at the center. Image: Gizmodo/Jason Wang/Northwestern University Astronomical phenomena tend to occur over ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - Astronomers recently made an important discovery when they found a rare "in-sync" solar system with six planets all moving in one big grand harmony, completely untouched by outside ...

From an early age, we are taught to understand that the planets of our solar system change in position while orbiting a central star, the sun. But does the sun itself move within the solar system?

Astronomers are racing to explain peculiar orbits of faraway objects at the edge of our solar system. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

The EXOEarths team (Centro de Astrofisica da Universidade do Porto – CAUP), in collaboration with Geneva University, did a joint analysis of data from the HARPS spectrograph and the Kepler satellite.

If you need to remember your tiny place in the space-time continuum, it’s time to listen to SolarBeat, a flash animation that converts the orbital frequencies of our solar system into notes. Artist ...
