DALLASI absolutely love this, it's called an orrery, and it's a little mechanical model of our solar system. You can see the planets here, orbiting the sun as they would do in real life.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The ongoing search for oceans in our solar system is taking us to Uranus. A new computer model, designed by researchers at the University of Texas, could help a future NASA ...

An Egyptian astronomer called Ptolemy (AD100-168) described one of the earliest ideas for how the Solar System is structured. Ptolemy’s model and many earlier ideas of the Solar System had the ...

While the composition of gas and dust in a molecular cloud is fairly uniform, everything changes once a star begins to form.

This may explain the strange properties of the orbits of our solar system's planets, which are not quite perfectly circular, and all lie on slightly different planes. NASA artist’s conception of ...

All of our solar system’s planets are lining up to parade through the night sky at once. This extraordinary celestial event will see the sky scattered with seven visible planets in what is known ...

His model could be applied to solar storms that impact technology in space. Do started working on charged particles three years ago during an undergraduate research project at the Harvard ...

A new climate modeling study presents a new scenario of how climate and life on our planet would change in response to a potential future strike of a medium-sized (~500 m) asteroid.

Solar scientists have found tiny, short-lived jets of energy on our sun to be the primary drivers of the solar wind, marking a step toward better understanding our sun's elusive behavior ...
