Earth, sun, moon: three objects in space whose interactions have a pretty big impact on our lives. Earth orbits the sun once a year, and it rotates on its axis about once a day (depending on your ...

This is a beautiful Lego space set, with approximate month and year positions of the earth's and moon's orbit around the sun and gives plenty of STEM stimulation at the same time. Size and distances ...

We like scale models here, but how small can you shrink the very large? If you’re [Frans], it’s pretty small indeed: his Micro Tellurium fits the orbit of the Earth on top of an ordinary pencil. While ...

As mankind was planning the first moon landing in the 1960s, an asteroid approached Earth—and still hasn’t left.

Quasi-moons are not real moons and don't actually orbit the Earth, although they sometimes appear to do so for short periods of time, Phil Nicholson, professor of astronomy at Cornell University, told ...

Researchers are discussing 2025 PN7, a small celestial body that's following a similar orbital path to our planet's without ...

The reason people might think Earth has a second moon is due to a celestial body named 2025 PN7 that was spotted in August by ...

The moon, Earth’s closest neighbor, is among the strangest planetary bodies in the solar system. Its orbit lies unusually far away from Earth, with a surprisingly large orbital tilt. Planetary ...

Astronomers have spotted a quasi-moon near Earth — and the small space rock has likely been hanging out near our planet unseen by telescopes for about 60 years, according to new research. The newly ...
