A new world has just been found orbiting a Sun-like star only 20 light-years away, and it could be one of the most promising ...

Researchers have discovered an Earth-like planet with such an eccentric orbit that it swoops in and out of its habitable zone throughout its year. Though the super-Earth could theoretically be ...

Its proximity and brightness make it an excellent candidate for future atmospheric studies. The planet’s eccentric orbit may allow water to shift between ice and liquid states, raising exciting ...

The shape of a planet's orbit is one of its fundamental properties, along with its size and distance from its host star.

Earth's last ice age ended around 11,700 years ago and a new study predicts the next one should be 10,000 years away. But the ...

Earth” orbits a relatively close, Sun-like star, and could be a habitable world – but one of extreme temperature swings, from scorching heat to deep freeze. Key Facts The newly confirmed planet is the ...

The fact that Titan currently has a noncircular or eccentric orbit implies that something occurred within the past 350 million years that perturbed its orbit. SAN ANTONIO — February 12 ...

Eccentricity of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The fluctuation between a nearly circular and elliptical orbit drives cyclic changes in the Earth's environment, including the global carbon cycle.

Its highly eccentric orbit will take it too far for any spacecraft to reach or any telescope to observe. But that doesn’t mean we have no interstellar subjects available for study—in fact ...

12.0$ \end{document} ). V1147 Cyg is a detached eclipsing system of A‐type stars. The sidereal period of the system is 15.2513228(7) days, with an eccentric orbit of e = 0.275(12) and evidence of ...
