Space Solar Power - V1
Space-based solar power. Illustration of satellites harvesting energy from sunlight
and beaming it down to Earth, perhaps via microwaves. Such satellites would likely be
in highly elliptical orbits, ensuring that they
stayed above the same hemisphere...

HR 8799
... itational forces in the system as a result of the star becoming a white dwarf
will cause its planets to fly loose from their orbits and bounce off each other's gravity, like balls
bouncing off a bumper in a game of pinball. ...

WD1054-226
The white dwarf WD1054-226 exhibits a constant stream of transits by debris and or
dust in orbit about it, with an underlying period of 25.02 hours. Astronomers believe
that the material orbits within the star's habitable
zone, where the temperature ...

HD 209458 - V3a
HD 209458 is a star with an extrasolar planet. The planet, HD 209458b or Osiris,
orbits so close to its parent star (only a few
stellar diameters away) that star's stellar wind is gradually stripping away the
planet's atmosphere, to form a long, come...

Stolen Exoplanet
... consistent with capture than theft. Their results lend further credence to the
notion that planets on more distant (>100 AU) orbits
may not be orbiting their parent star. This image shows such a planet, orbiting a
star that is not the one it was born ...

Solar System and Oort Cloud
The Oort cloud is a vast, spherical region of space thought to surround the Sun, with
a radius measured in thousands of astronomical units (1 AU being the Earth-Sun
distance). Evidence for it comes from the orbits of
long-period comets, which seem to...
