Beyond Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a vast region of icy bodies that holds the secrets to the solar system’s formation.

Its orbit would be very distant, much beyond Neptune, and much more inclined if compared to the known planets — even more inclined than Pluto’s, whose inclination is about 17 degrees ...

But that new planet was a stretch — it had a really wonky orbit and was far smaller than the other planets, so it didn't take long for astronomers to start wondering if they should start ...

NASA-supported scientists have developed a method to compute how tides affect the interiors of planets and moons, which will ...

Scientists have discovered a nearby six-planet system with an orbit around its star with a rhythmic beat, moving at such synchronicity that it can be compared to dancing and set to music ...

Gravity is the force needed to maintain the orbit of planets, asteroids and comets around a star. The attractive force of gravity also keeps moons and artificial satellites in orbit around a planet.
