On November 6, 2026, the network reported 9 fireballs.
(7 sporadics, 1 Northern Taurid, 1 Orionid) spaceweather.com
In this diagram of the inner solar system, all of the fireball orbits intersect at a single point--Earth. The orbits are color-coded by velocity, from slow (red) to fast (blue).

Who orbits whom

don't really like how obvious when the tracers are being updated but man is this cool. just the high mass objects smashing into orbits. it's nothing new but it's just so satisfying.

The first bird of my day... the voices of herring gulls, and then the sight of them, softly wheeling overhead in their pointy-winged, individual orbits, in the mild air

As planetary systems evolve, gravitational interactions between planets can force some of them into eccentric elliptical orbits around the host star: many gas giant exoplanets have been observed with eccentric orbits very different from the circular orbits of the planets in our own solar system.

he star system K2-155 has three “super-Earths”. One of them orbits its star in the habitable zone, meaning where water can exist in liquid form.

At least, it still orbits 🙃

Remember, you don’t HAVE to explore those higher energy electron orbits!

… how did I get through 46 solar orbits without a single person telling me the good news about sheet pan gnocchi

Wissenswertes über unseren Heimatplaneten und die Sonne:

(We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.)

Earth rotates at ~1000mph. Planet orbits at 66,00mph. Solar system orbits the galaxy at half a million mph. So a month ago the same point in physical space was quite a long distance away now...

"And our orbits touch but they're just out of reach
So we'll dynamite the gates of Heaven"

Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump, when I catch you!!! This is too much for me to handle on a Monday!!

also “our orbits touch, but their just out of reach” is giving karma mv + treacherous “Put your lips close to mine / As long as they don't touch”

The telescope searches for exoplanets with the radial velocity method.

As the planet orbits its gravitational pull causes the parent star to move back & forth. This tiny motion shifts the star's observed spectrum, unveiling the planet's presence.

I cite the last 2 orbits Earth has done.

🔴 40 000+ Mars orbits
🌅 30 000+ sunrises and sunsets
📊 600+ gigabytes, more than all other Mars spacecraft combined

Meet the #ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, @esa.int's largest and most sophisticated martian explorer.

One tap hops your little planet between orbits while asteroids fill the sky. Short runs, instant restarts — dangerously addictive.

I simulated the orbits of planets around a nearby brown dwarf in my worldbuilding project for 100 billion years! Go check it out and listen to the chill tunes I wrote for the video!
