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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites ...

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.
