The stretching of space would have given stars the large orbital energy and angular momentum we see. (creationscience.com)
Eventually, this causes celestial bodies to lose orbital energy, and they will have shorter orbital periods of only a few days.» (sciencedaily.com)
We have a three - step process: LightSail - 1 will prove solar sailing, LightSail - 2 should be able to use the sail to increase orbital energy, getting away from Earth into higher orbit to do scientific measurements. (newscientist.com)
