Sentences with phrase «distant orbit»

Previous studies have suggested that gravitational interactions with other large planets in their solar systems created orbital chaos that drove them inward from a more distant orbit.

He has launched an artwork into distant orbit around earth in collaboration with Creative Time and M.I.T., contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award — winning film Citizenfour, and created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.

He has launched an artwork into distant orbit around Earth in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT, contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award — winning film Citizenfour, and created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.

Plants on planets orbiting dim stars or in distant orbits around brighter stars may appear dark because they need to capture more of the visual and even of the nearer parts of the infrared and UV spectrum (more).

Still, Andrew Youdin, an astronomer at the University of Arizona, Tucson, thinks the giants with distant orbits may be the anomalies.

First, most of the planets around other sunlike stars have no single orbital range — that is, some orbit extremely close to their host stars while others follow exceptionally distant orbits.

Hajdukovic's quantum gravity might create a similar discrepancy with more distant orbiting bodies, he says — which is where Eris and its moon Dysnomia come in.

According to theory, planets in such distant orbits move so slowly that they should grow at a glacial rate and top out at masses well short of Jupiter's before the disk disperses.

This mixture resembles the composition of ancient bodies from cold distant orbits — such as Comet Borrelly, which another NASA probe flew past in 2001 (ScienceNOW, 18 December 2001).

Other solar system bodies that are possibly dwarf planets include Sedna and Quaoar, small worlds far beyond Pluto's orbit, and 2012 VP113, an object that is thought to have one of the most distant orbits found beyond the known edge of our solar system.

They said that the gravity of this predicted planet has pulled six of these twelve TNOs into their elongated, extremely distant orbits, and telescopes will find this Planet X by January 2021.192

He has launched an artwork into distant orbit around Earth in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT, contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award - winning film Citizenfour (2014), and created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.

There are many reasons why giant exoplanets are easier to detect than the small more rocky terrestrial planets, so it is entirely possible that star systems with giant exoplanets in distant orbits may also contain minor, rocky planets that simply haven't been detected yet.

The system's two sunlike stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, orbit each other closely while Proxima Centauri, a tempestuous red dwarf, hangs onto the system tenuously in a much more distant orbit.

Some of his other projects include: launching an artwork into distant orbit around Earth (in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT), working on the Academy Award - winning film Citizenfour, and creating a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.

In certain places, we find that the gravitational handiwork of some distant orbiting moon has disturbed the orbits of ring particles, creating sharp edges or wave disturbances that propagate out in a spiral pattern.

Their first instinct was to run simulations involving a planet in a distant orbit that encircled the orbits of the six Kuiper Belt objects, acting like a giant lasso to wrangle them into their alignment.

That extra matter wields additional gravitational force on everything around it — including comets, sending them out of their distant orbits and into the inner solar system.

Giant, gaseous planets would occupy more distant orbits, just as Jupiter and Saturn do in our solar system.

The satellite galaxy Andromeda II is located in a distant orbit approximately 600,000 light years from the center of the great Andromeda Galaxy.

The two sunlike stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, orbit each other closely while Proxima Centauri, a tempestuous red dwarf, hangs onto the system tenuously in a much more distant orbit.

Simulations indicate that, given Rhea's size and distant orbit around Saturn, this moon could potentially hang on to a ring for millions of years or more before the planet's pull overcomes Rhea's hold.

The implication was clear: Something massive, well beyond Neptune, must have pulled Sedna into its distant orbit.

But Batygin says that residual gas in the protoplanetary disk might have exerted enough drag to slow the planet just enough for it to settle into a distant orbit and remain in the solar system.

When researchers observed star systems containing debris disks with giant exoplanets in distant orbits, they noted that the star systems had similar dual dust disks analogous to the Solar System's two zones — the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter) and the Kuiper Belt (beyond the orbit of Neptune).

It is thrilling that we definitely know there are more objects like Sedna out on these distant orbits far from the Sun.

He contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award - winning film Citizenfour, created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan, and, in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT, launched an artwork into distant orbit around Earth.

He has launched an artwork into distant orbit around Earth in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT, contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award - winning film Citizenfour, and created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.
