Direct distance is computed in a Euclidean manner, in an ECEF coordinate system (or equivalent on other planets); Horizontal distance is computed geodetically, taking into consideration the curvature of the planet; Vertical distance is computed as an elevation difference. In projected coordinate ...
The mismatch seems to defy our understanding of how planets are born: if planets coalesce out of a disc that spins out like a pizza around a baby star, their orbits and the star’s spin should match up. Previous explanations for the mismatch include planets having close encounters with...
Solar flares are eruptions on the sun's surface that release intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. These flares occur when built-up magnetic energy in the solar atmosphere is suddenly released. They are classified by size into different categories, with X-class flares being the most powerful...
For morerealistic dust opacities that include larger grains, the snow line is locatedup to two times closer to the star. We use these locations and the outcome ofN-body simulations to predict the amount of water delivered to terrestrialplanets that formed in situ in the habitable zone. We ...

Around 1945 Edward Teller suggested that at elevated temperatures the large number of atoms with statistically different occupation configurations will cause a proliferous line spectrum and its contribution to the opacity could be large (Jacobsohn 1947 Mayer 1947). In this chapter we discuss the tempe...
Planetary conjunction occurs when two or more planets show up close to each other in the sky. It is an optical illusion as the planets are, in fact, way far away from each other. Stargazers may observe the conjunction of four planets with the naked eye, at the most with a...
