Space enthusiast Kristoph Krisjans has created a very unique desktop space exploration system called the Gravity Museum that allows you to compare the gravity between all solar system planets and ...

Gravity is a fundamental force of physics, one which we Earthlings tend to take for granted. You can't really blame us. Having evolved over the course of billions of years in Earth's environment, we ...

Whether you view it as an educational tool or a geeky space-themed desk toy, there is something incredibly cool about Kristoph Krisjans’ latest Kickstarter campaign. Having previously created the ...

Astronomers suggest that an alternative concept of gravity, known as modified Newtonian dynamics, could explain orbital inconsistencies that have previously pointed to the existence of a ninth planet ...

It is strange that Lexell’s Comet is not better remembered. Discovered by ace comet-hunter Charles Messier on the night of 14 June 1770, it passed Earth just two weeks later at a distance of 1.4 ...

Planets usually stay close to their host stars, tracing steady paths shaped by gravity. Yet some planets break free and drift alone through the Milky Way.

NASA reports more than 400 gas giants – large gas planets like Jupiter or Saturn – have been discovered outside of Earth's solar system. However, the possibility that a gas planet could exist in the ...

More than a 150 years ago, before Neptune was ever sighted in the night sky, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the planet’s existence based on small deviations in the motion of Uranus.

Astronomers have discovered a rare lemon-shaped planet called PSR J2322-2650b orbiting a city-size star. Found using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the Jupiter-size world is stretched by extreme ...

Two small planets might be sculpting an enormous dust ring around the star Fomalhaut, a mere 25 light-years away from Earth. But it’s not too likely that either planet is the notorious Fomalhaut b, ...
