Astronomers have discovered a rare star system in which six planets orbit around one star in an elaborate geometrical pattern due to a phenomenon called orbital resonance. Using both NASA’s ...

Saturn can enter what's called an "orbital resonance" with Neptune. Normally, gravitational interactions among planets average out over millions of years. But in a resonance, orbital periods line ...

And the planets, labeled b through g, revolve around the star in a celestial dance known as orbital resonance. There are discernible patterns as the planets complete their orbits and exert ...
