Right now, the Moon orbits Earth from a respectable distance of about 239,000 miles (384,600 kilometers). But that's because ...

“Circumbinary orbits that are polar or highly inclined to the Earth-Moon orbit are subject to two competing effects: nodal precession about the Earth-Moon eccentricity vector and Kozai-Lidov ...

This new planet, however, has an almost unheard of orbital eccentricity of 0.94. To put it in terms of our solar system, NOIRLab explains that if this planet orbited the sun then it would come 10 ...

Astronomers may have solved the mystery of how hot Jupiter exoplanets are born, finding a gas giant with a weird orbit in the process of transforming into just such a world. News.

HD 80606 b has an eccentricity of 0.93 and a shorter orbit of 111 days, and it orbits in the same direction of its star. But otherwise, the planets are practically twins, Wright said.

From this value and the eccentricity e of Earth’s orbit (0.017), we can calculate the semiminor axis of Earth’s orbit by rearranging the equation to calculate eccentricity: into.

The findings highlight the roles of precession, obliquity, and eccentricity – factors influencing the tilt and movement of Earth's axis, and the shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun – in ...

The orbit of TIC 241249530 b has an eccentricity of 0.94, which is more eccentric than the orbit of any other exoplanet ever found via the transit method of exoplanet detection.
