Likewise the slight tilt of each planet's orbit is represented to scale and oriented correctly. Finally, the varying distances of the planets from the sun through their orbits is represented by offset ...

Stargazers will be treated to a rare seven-planet alignment in February. This is what scientists hope to learn.

With an assist from the NEID spectrograph, a team of astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanet Gaia-4b—one of the ...

Gaia-4b is considered a super-Jupiter planet, a relatively cold gas giant, orbiting its star over 570 Earth-days. That star ...

HD 20794d orbits its star with two other super-Earth planets, designated b and c ... The degree of elongation, known as eccentricity, is measured on a scale of 0 (for a perfect circle) to 1 (a ...

This may explain the strange properties of the orbits of our solar system's planets, which are not quite perfectly circular, and all lie on slightly different planes. NASA artist’s conception of ...

During late January and into February, six planets are moving in their orbits into our southern sky, visible each evening.

When we first began searching for planets around other stars, one of the surprising discoveries was that there are planets orbiting white dwarfs. The first exoplanets we ever discovered were white ...
