Venus currently hosts 20 known co-orbitals, including "Trojan" asteroids and the peculiar quasi-moon Zoozve. These objects, each exceeding 460 feet in diameter, could devastate urban areas if they ...

Venus currently has at least 20 co-orbital asteroids that have the potential to “approach the Earth,” according to a new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Scientists made replica computer models of the already known co-orbital rocks around Venus, but with different orbits relative to Venus and observed how they behaved over 36,000 years.

Twelve mornings after the transit, Venus will have moved far enough along its orbital path so that it can be glimpsed poking above the bright east-northeastern horizon at 5:30 a.m.

The newly outlined history of TRAPPIST-1 may, at last, explain how those patterns came to be. When planets form around a young star, their orbital periods often enter "resonances" with each other.
