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.

A recent study in Icarus suggests a wandering star could disrupt our solar system. Simulations reveal that a star passing within 10,000 AU might destabilize Mercury's orbit, potentially affecting ...

A recent study indicates a small chance that Earth could be ejected from our solar system due to passing stars. Simulations suggest these stellar encounters might disrupt planetary orbits, potentially ...

The Earth is our planet. It is one of eight planets that move around the Sun, each in an oval shaped, elliptical orbit close elliptical orbitAn orbit that is the shape of an ellipse. An ellipse is ...

The giant planets weren't always where we find them today. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune formed in a more compact configuration and later underwent a violent reshuffling that scattered them to ...

There’s a bit of a paradox about our galaxy: it’s both jam-packed with stars and cavernously empty. The Milky Way is crowded in the sense that it holds hundreds of billions of stars, as well as ...
