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.

Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

Towering clouds ripple across Jupiter's surface in dramatic patterns. Like Earth's clouds, they contain water, but on Jupiter they are far denser and ...

Earth’s ice ages have long been blamed on subtle wobbles in our own orbit, but new research suggests a distant accomplice is ...

Satellites and spacecraft in the vast region between Earth and the moon and just beyond—called cislunar space—are crucial for ...

"We studied the last several orbits before the merger, when the entwined magnetic fields undergo rapid and dramatic changes, ...

Astronomers have long searched for life within a rather narrow ring around a star, the "habitable zone," where a planet ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

Measurements of the masses of exoplanets orbiting a young star have identified a system of low-density ‘super-puff’ planets. Read the paper: A young progenitor for the most common planetary systems in ...

Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences, University of Tennessee If you’ve seen illustrations or models of the solar system, maybe you noticed that all the planets orbit the Sun in ...
