A study of comet motions indicates that the Solar System has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point ...

A new study of the orbit of comets suggests that the plane of the ecliptic, where the Earth's orbit rests, may not be the only major alignment in the solar system. By tracking the point where ...

The cosmos is putting on a show, and stargazers are in for a treat. This week, a rare seven-planet alignment will grace the night sky, offering a breathtaking celestial display. Mercury, Venus, Mars, ...

Exceptionally high tides are common when the moon is closest to the Earth, known as perigee, and when it’s either full or new. In the case of what’s informally known as a super full moon, it’s both ...

From Earth, we always look towards the Sun's equator. This year, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission broke free of this ‘standard’ viewpoint by tilting its orbit to 17° – out of the ecliptic plane where ...

As chair of the Physics Department at St. Michael’s College in Colchester, Alain Brizard anticipated that he would need to assemble answers to common questions about why total solar eclipses occur and ...

A large number of spacecraft have been sent to space over the years to study the star in our solar system, but they all tended to follow the same recipe: they lined up in orbit around the Sun within a ...

This week we can see something that many beginning sky watchers miss. I say we can “see” it, but in reality, it’s invisible except in our imaginations. The planets orbit our sun, and the moon orbits ...

INDIANA, USA — Look up in mid-January just after sunset and you'll see a six-planet alignment: Four with your naked eye and two with a telescope. It's a six-planet parade! Tap HERE to track clouds for ...
