The researchers propose that rather than having the position of the planets explained by gravity within the solar system, it could have been caused by a massive object that traveled through the ...

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites ...

which ebbs and flows as our solar system ambles through the Milky Way. (For objects near the Sun, like planets, the tide's effect is largely overpowered by the star's gravity.) This is what the ...
