Minecraft mod Galacticraft was mod of the week in PC Gamer in July 2013. [59] At San Jose Mercury News, George Avalos claims that mods are definitely suited for "mainstream enthusiasts", but does warn that precaution must be taken in order to avoid downloading "dangerous and spammy software" when looking for Minecraft mods.
An extragalactic planet, also known as an extragalactic exoplanet or an extroplanet, [1] [2] [3] is a star-bound planet or rogue planet located outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Due to the immense distances to such worlds, they would be very hard to detect directly. However, indirect evidences suggest that such planets exist.
Vesta (radius 262.7 ± 0.1 km), the second-largest asteroid, appears to have a differentiated interior and therefore likely was once a dwarf planet, but it is no longer very round today. [74] Pallas (radius 255.5 ± 2 km ), the third-largest asteroid, appears never to have completed differentiation and likewise has an irregular shape.
[19]: 341 In particular, it is still not clear how these objects grow to become 0.1–1 km (0.06–0.6 mi) sized planetesimals; [5] [20] this problem is known as the "meter size barrier": [21] [22] As dust particles grow by coagulation, they acquire increasingly large relative velocities with respect to other particles in their vicinity, as ...
The exploration of Jupiter — the biggest and most extreme planet in the Solar System — may change humanity's understanding of the Solar System.Recent discoveries by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Juno mission uncover what lies beneath Jupiter's violent storms and reveal that Jupiter is more akin to a star than a planet.
Planet Nine is a hypothetical ninth planet in the outer region of the Solar System. [4] [2] Its gravitational effects could explain the peculiar clustering of orbits for a group of extreme trans-Neptunian objects (ETNOs), bodies beyond Neptune that orbit the Sun at distances averaging more than 250 times that of the Earth i.e. over 250 astronomical units (AU).
The planets, named Kepler-62e and Kepler-62f, are likely solid planets with sizes 1.6 and 1.4 times the radius of Earth, respectively. [ 160 ] [ 161 ] [ 162 ] With a radius estimated at 1.1 Earth, Kepler-186f , discovery announced in April 2014, is the closest yet size to Earth of an exoplanet confirmed by the transit method [ 163 ] [ 164 ...
This video shows an artist's impression of the free-floating planet CFBDSIR J214947.2-040308.9. A rogue planet, also termed a free-floating planet (FFP) or an isolated planetary-mass object (iPMO), is an interstellar object of planetary mass which is not gravitationally bound to any star or brown dwarf.
