Before Kepler outlined his laws of planetary motion in the early 17th century, humankind’s knowledge of the solar system and beyond was in its infancy and largely remained a mystery. At the time ...

That makes the solar system, orbiting a star called Kepler-90, ... Shallue said the model takes about two hours to train and will be released to the public. Once the network was primed, ...

Meet the Kepler-11 solar system. The five inner planets in the Kepler-11 system range in size from 2.3 to 13.5 times the mass of Earth. ... "By developing a model of the orbital dynamics, ...

Kepler will probably find quite a few systems similar to this one, and this new technique of using the slight changes in the orbital periods to get the planets' masses is really amazing and useful.

Now, a team of researchers has shed new light on a seven-planet system in Kepler's ocean of data. The star is called Kepler 385, and it's about 4,670 light-years away.

Scientists analyzed famed astronomer Johannes Kepler’s 1607 sketches of sunspots to solve a mystery about the sun’s solar cycle that has persisted for centuries.

The discovery of Kepler-385 has also revealed that planets tend to have more circular orbits – similar to our own solar system – when there are more than two planets orbiting a star.

Dallas Campbell shows an orrery – a mechanical model of the solar system. Suitable for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4/GCSE, Third Level, National 4, National 5 and Higher ...
