This hands-on, guided-inquiry activity helps students to understand the geometry of lunar and solar eclipses by creating a physical, proportional model of the Earth and Moon system and observing ...

How do you make a numerical model that shows the motion of the Earth-Sun-moon system? Here, I use vpython to create the calculation.

"Our society is built on technologies that are highly susceptible to space weather," said NASA's Heliophysics Division ...

A first-of-its kind AI-powered model attempts to better predict space weather and its impacts. The model — called Surya, for ...

That marble moon is so small I had to put an arrow over it for you. So here's what it comes down to: If you want to show the Earth-sun-moon system, you'd seem to have two options.

An AI model trained on years of data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory can predict the sun’s future appearance and ...

Earth’s moon is an unusual object in our solar system, and now there’s a new theory to explain how it got where it is, which puts some twists on the current “giant impact” theory. The work is ...

Some studies suggest gravitational forces from the moon or electromagnetic effects from the sun might affect the Earth’s crust.
