Learn how to build a 3D solar system simulation using Python! This tutorial guides you through coding planetary motion, visualizing orbits, and creating an interactive model of our solar system.

Far from the Sun’s heat, orbiting the outer planets of the solar system, are moons with oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. Keith Cooper finds out how planetary scientists are ...

In September, NASA announced the discovery of a possible sign of life, known as a potential biosignature, on Mars. The Perseverance rover, which has been exploring a dried-up lakebed for years, found ...

United States-based space solar startup Overview Energy has announced its emergence from stealth mode to work on the next phase of commercialization. Based in Ashburn, Virginia, the company was ...

In this video, we simulate the motion of an object near Earth using Python! Watch how we apply physics and programming to model realistic motion, from gravity to orbital paths. #PythonSimulation ...

It may not feel like it, but everything in the universe is in constant motion. Our Sun, with all its planets, orbits the center of the Milky Way, flying through the cosmos at around 450,000 miles per ...

Roughly four and a half billion years ago the planet Theia slammed into Earth, destroying itself, melting large portions of our planet’s mantle and ejecting a huge debris disk that later pulled ...

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

For the first time, astronomers say they have spotted a giant explosion released by a star beyond our solar system. The eruption was similar in some ways to those unleashed by our sun, such as the ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

If you've ever wondered why we are here, then you can thank Jupiter for part of the answer. A new study from Rice University suggests that if it weren't for the gas giant, the Earth would have ...
