Saturn is very important. This is a giant planet too, and as we've studied the dynamic between Jupiter and Saturn, we've realised that Saturn was able to stop Jupiter's migration and even reverse it.土星非常重要。这也是一颗巨大的行星，当我们研究木星和土星之间的动态关系时，我们已经意识到土星...
It is of course, impossible to know exactly what our world would really be like without the Moon-both physically, and in terms of human exploration. But one thing does seem clear: we probably take our natural satellite's existence far too much for granted. Not every inhabited planet in the...
The asteroid is thought to have been between 10 and 15 kilometres wide, but the velocity of its collision caused the creation of a much larger crater, 150 kilometres in diameter - the second-largest crater on the planet. What planet rotates on its side? While Earth's axis is tilted about...
'An operation was attempted on a nonexistent network connection' error 'bootstrap' is not a valid script name. The name must end in '.js'. 'Cannot implicitly convert 'System.TimeSpan' to 'System.DateTime' 'DayOfWeek' is not supported in LINQ to Entities.. 'get' is not recognized as ...

While Earth may appear to be a perfect sphere in satellite photographs, this is not the case. Instead, the planet is far wider at the equator and flattens the closer you are to each pole — or has a single shorter axis. In other words, Earth is a close approximation of an oblate sph...
What is spacetime, and is time really all a matter of perspective? Find out in our beginner's guide to the complexities of time and space.
The termgeostationarycomes from the fact that the satellite appears nearly stationary in the sky to a ground-based observer. These satellites complete one orbit in about 24 hours, which is the same amount of time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis. The satellite appears to ...
As a planet, Venus (named, incidentally, for the Roman goddess of love; the Greek counterpart is Aphrodite) is similar to the Earth in its proportions. Its diameter is 95 percent of Earth's, and its density is 90 percent of Earth's, making its mass 81 percent of Earth's. Its atmosph...
Figure 1: Exoplanet Discoveries through 2015. The vertical axis shows the radius of each planet compared to Earth. Horizontal lines show the size of Earth, Neptune, and Jupiter. The horizontal axis shows the time each planet takes to make one orbit (and is given in Earth days). Recall tha...
