Sentences with phrase «different orbits around stars»

Not exact matches

Although the initial display shows the system's actual orbital tilt (at an inclination of 79.2 °) from the visual perspective of an observer on Earth, the orbital inclination of any planet that may be discovered someday around either star would likely be different from those of the habitable zone orbits shown here.

However, the stars will be thrown into different orbits around the new galactic center.

It relies on measuring the apparent change in position of a star as seen from different points on the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

«The solar system that likely will be formed around this star will include planets orbiting in different directions, unlike our own solar system in which all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction,» Hollis explained.

Although the initial display shows the system's actual orbital tilt (at an inclination of 136.5 °) from the visual perspective of an observer on Earth, the orbital inclination of any planet that may be discovered someday around Star A would likely be different from that of the habitable zone orbit depicted here.

Many theories and speculations of different types have been proposed to explain the unusual light curve of the star, including a mega structure built by aliens orbiting around it.

Basically, when a person looks at the same stars when the Earth is at different places in its orbit around the sun, the closer stars will appear to move position relative to the more distant stars.

Previously discussed in a November 24, 2011 pre-print, the astronomers «surveyed a carefully chosen sample of 102 red dwarf stars in the southern skies over a six - year period» and found a «total of nine super-Earths (planets with masses between one and ten times that of Earth),» of which two orbiting within the habitable zones of Gliese 581 and Gliese 667 C. By combining all the radial - velocity data of red dwarf stars (including those without undetected planets) and examining the fraction of confirmed planets that was found, the astronomers were able to estimate the probable distribution of different types of planets around red dwarfs: for example, only 12 percent of such stars within 30 light - years may have giant planets with masses between 100 and 1,000 times that of the Earth (ESO news release; Bonfils et al, 2011; and Delfosse et al, 2011).
