Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's ...

Gravity provides the force needed to maintain the stable orbit of planets around a star and also of moons and artificial satellites around a planet. The moons around planets in the Solar System ...

The Sun is the largest object in the Solar System. The Sun’s huge gravitational field keeps many other objects – planets, dwarf planets, asteroids and comets – in orbit around it.

A fascinating blend of mechanics and magnetism brings a solar system model to life. Each planetary movement is guided by magnetic forces, creating a seamless and mesmerizing display. Precision ...

Satellites have detected electromagnetic signals generated by ocean tides, suggesting that space-born sensors could obtain insights into the motion ... delivered to solar system dwarf planet ...

Reintroducing Hawaii's sacred crow, how desert ants find their way, pterosaurs paddle-like tails, and how gophers rebuild ...

Simpson's paper, "How might a planet between Mars and Jupiter influence the inner solar system? Effects on orbital motion, obliquity, and eccentricity," was published in Icarus, a journal devoted ...

ABB Motion, the motors business of Swiss-Swedish electrical-equipment producer ABB, has released a new solar drive for water pumping. The ACQ80 variable speed drive (VSD) system features built-in ...

Despite common assumptions, the disk of our Solar System is warped, and the planets travel around the Sun in slightly eccentric (or oblong) orbits. Scientists now think that a mysterious object ...
