Planets usually stay close to their host stars, tracing steady paths shaped by gravity. Yet some planets break free and drift ...

New simulations show Mars plays a key role in shaping Earth’s long-term climate by influencing its orbit and axial tilt over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.

Every time a coffee mug drops, a satellite orbits or an astronaut floats, we are watching the same phenomenon play out under ...

Research suggests that Mars may strongly influence these cycles. For example, Mars helps drive a 2.4‑million‑year cycle ...

Astronomers have detected a rogue planet roughly the size of Saturn wandering alone through the Milky Way. Unlike most ...

Scientists measured mass and distance of free floating planet drifting through space without star for first time.

More than a 150 years ago, before Neptune was ever sighted in the night sky, French mathematician Urbain Le Verrier predicted the planet’s existence based on small deviations in the motion of Uranus.
