Our solar system has a second alignment plane – Tech Explorist
A study of comet motions indicates that the solar system has a second alignment plane. This has important implications for models of how comets originally forme…
As seen from the Earth, the Sun, Moon, and planets all appear to move along the ecliptic. More precisely, the ecliptic is the Sun’s apparent path among the stars for a year. But there are exceptions such as comets.
The orbits of long-period comets take them far beyond the outer planets at aphelia, and the plane of their orbits need not lie near the ecliptic.
Models of solar formation propose that even long-period comets initially shaped near the ecliptic and were later dispersed into the orbit…
