At the aphelion, the distance from the Earth’s center to the Sun’s center is going to be 152,087,738 kilometers (94,502,939 ...

Since Kepler's laws of motion dictate that celestial bodies orbit more slowly when farther from the sun, we are now moving at ...

After the sun arrives at its solstice point, it will begin to migrate back toward the south and the amount of daylight in the ...

Kaib previously published work that suggested Earth's orbit was altered by a passing star three million years ago. “We looked at the typical, run-of-the-mill flybys,” Raymond told New Scientist.

Unlike most other space-tech ventures that stick to low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite operations, Ahmedabad-headquartered Orbitt Space is going for the sub-250 km zone — ultra-low earth orbit ...

About the mission The 23 satellites from the Starlink company, owned by SpaceX, will be heading to low-Earth orbit to join the thousands already there. Once deployed and in their orbit, they will ...

A Planet That Shouldn't Exist? According to infrared data from the IRAS and AKARI satellites, this object, up to 17 times the mass of Earth, completes an orbit every 10,000 to 20,000 years.

Most of these satellites will be in low Earth orbit (LEO)—the very zone that would be impacted by debris from a lunar impact. The Western Ontario team of the university ran 10,000 simulations of ...

Increased solar activity is affecting Earth’s satellites, particularly SpaceX's Starlink. Geomagnetic storms are causing more satellites to fall out of orbit and re-enter the atmosphere.
