As the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury is exposed to the star's enormous gravitational field. And it's really stressful.

Hycean worlds are also called ocean worlds. They're planets covered in oceans that also have thick hydrogen atmospheres.

The researches say that the Hycean Habitable Zone (HHZ), when compared to the terrestrial habitable zone, may include smaller ...

On Earth, depending on where you are, the analemma can be at different angles, though it always traces out this figure-of-eight pattern. But on other planets, with their own orbits and mean solar ...

With 10 times the mass of our planet, and spending only part of its orbit in the habitable zone, Kepler-725c is very ...

Chinese spacecraft prepare for orbital refueling test as US surveillance sats lurk nearby Two Chinese Shijian satellites ...

This video explores how climatic shifts, influenced by the Milankovitch cycles—changes in the Earth's axis wobble, tilt, and ...

Astronomers have identified a cluster of giant asteroids sharing Venus's orbit, posing a potential long-term threat to Earth ...

The proposed methodology gets more realistic answers if FEM results are taken as a reference. Finally, UMP triggered by a dynamic eccentricity is shown, and the resulting force that followed the ...

The team compared the changes in orbital parameters to the glacial periods over the last 900,000 years. Eccentricity varies over 100,000-year cycles (and a second one over 400,000 years).

and eccentricity on the rhythmic advance and retreat of ice sheets. A major challenge in determining the precise influence of orbital variations on glacial cycles lies in the striking similarity ...

Professor John Chiang of UC Berkeley explains the impact of Earth's axial tilt and orbital eccentricity on global climate. He highlights their influence on seasonal variations, including monsoon ...
