On July 1, 2025, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) survey telescope, located in northern Chile, spotted a new object just inside the orbit of Jupiter. ATLAS scans the sky every ...

If gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, how can the Sun’s gravity affect distant and low-mass objects such as those in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud? Neal Attinson ...

Sometimes, as with the Sun and Jupiter, their mutual center of gravity or barycenter lies slightly outside one of the bodies; Jupiter is large enough that it drags the Sun in a little circle ...

Now, physicists led by John Koulakis of the University of California, Los Angeles, have circumvented Earth's gravity by creating a radial force analogous to gravity inside the sun, using sound waves.

It turns out gravity is a big reason the sun is so hot. That’s what my friend Michael Allen told me. He’s an astronomer at Washington State University. He said that, ...

Scientists want to use the sun’s gravity to communicate between stars. Solar gravitational lensing may help us search for life on other planets. By Briley Lewis. Published Nov 28, ...

The tiny sun — consisting of a superheated plasma inside a 1-inch-wide (3-centimeter) glass sphere — produced sound waves that constrained the swirling plasma much like gravity does the actual ...
