In search-for-life-on-other-planets news, a study published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy revealed evidence of a magnetic field on the rocky exoplanet YZ Ceti b, which orbits a star ...
Five planets are going to be retrograde in the summer of 2024. Here are the dates for Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde, Neptune retrograde, Pluto retrograde and more.
An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.
Earth, the largest of our solar system's four rocky planets, has a diameter of about 7,900 miles (12,750 km). Neptune, the smallest of its four gas planets, has a diameter of about 30,600 miles ...
Humanity's first object to attain Solar system's escape velocity. First probe to traverse the asteroid belt, to reach Jovanian system, to use a gravity assist and to leave the proximity of Solar systems' planets. Held the record for fastest human-made object at the time and the most distant one until Voyager 1 overtook in 1998.
Solar System space probes operational as of November 2024. This is a list of active space probes which have escaped Earth orbit. It includes lunar space probes, but does not include space probes orbiting at the Sun–Earth Lagrangian points (for these, see List of objects at Lagrangian points). A craft is deemed "active" if it is still able to ...
A mysterious planet — called Planet 9 or Planet X — may be hiding at the edge of our solar system. Planet nine may be orbiting far from the Sun, at the edge of our solar system. Astronomers ...
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2022 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2022. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit.
