NASA’s PUNCH Mission Completes Final Orbit Manoeuvres, Opens Early Sun Data to the Public
NASA’s PUNCH mission has reached full operational status, enabling continuous monitoring of the Sun and solar wind from multiple vantage points around Earth. This collaborative effort complements other major solar missions and promises valuable insights into the Sun–Earth connection. Early public release of PUNCH’s science data marks an excit...

Exoplanet Orbiting a White Dwarf Star Gives Researchers Hope That Earth Might Escape Its Eventual Death
A planetary system anchored by a white dwarf star, located approximately 4,000 light-years away, provides astronomers with insights into what could happen to our Sun and Earth in about 8 billion years. This scenario unfolds if the Earth survives the Sun's transformation into a red giant, expected to occur in 5 to 6 billion years.

The Earth Is Not Revolving Around The Sun But Something Else Nearby. NASA Explains What It Is
New insights into planetary motion reveal that Earth is not technically orbiting the Sun. Instead, both the Sun and Earth revolve around a shared centre of mass called the barycentre.

Earth's Real Orbit, And Why High-School Textbooks Are Wrong About Its Shape
If you've ever been taught about how Earth orbits around the Sun, you might well think our planet travels along an oval-shaped path. You'd have a good reason to think that, too: it's how most textbooks show things.

Why Don't We Have A Solar Eclipse Every Month? NASA Video Explains
Total Solar Eclipse Today: According to NASA, the Moon's orbit is slightly tilted relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun.

Aditya-L1 Sun Mission Payload To Send 1,440 Images Per Day, Say Scientists
Aditya-L1 will be placed in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian Point 1 (L1), which is 1.5 million km from the Earth in the direction of the Sun.

Chandra X-Ray Observatory Reveals Information on the Events Around a Rejected Star
Data received from the US space agency NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed some fascinating features of a star, which was likely ejected from its birthplace due to a powerful explosion. The star, Zeta Ophiuchi, has a complicated past and is located some 440 light-years from Earth.

International Asteroid Day 2022: How Asteroids Were Formed, Why They Could Pose a Threat to Earth
Asteroids are rocky celestial bodies that are located in the main asteroid belt and resolve around the sun, just like planets. Created furing the formation of our solar system around 4.6 billion years ago, most of these asteroids do not pose a threat to Earth, but can cause a catastrophe in case of an impact on the planet. International Asteroid Da...

First Giant Exoplanet Found Orbiting Extinguished Star
Astronomers have discovered a planet the size of Jupiter closely orbiting the smouldering remains of a dead star, the first time that an intact exoplanet has been discovered travelling around a white dwarf, according to research published Wednesday.

Earth-Like Exoplanet Found Orbiting a Sun-Like Star a Little Over 3,000 Light Years Away: Study
Planet KOI-456.04' is thought to be similar to Earth for several reasons. It is said to have a similar distance between its sun - Kepler-160 - with an orbit that takes it 378 days to complete. It also thought to receive 93 percent as much light as Earth gets from the Sun.

Tiny Asteroid Becomes Earth's Constant Companion
Our Earth has got a small companion. NASA scientists have discovered a tiny asteroid in an orbit around the Sun that keeps it as a constant companion of Earth and will remain so for centuries to come.

Planets around 'solar twins' of Sun more habitable than Earth
Planets orbiting the scattered stars around the Milky Way may be even more hospitable to life than the Earth, researchers claim.
