Planets orbit their parent stars while separated by enormous distances – in our solar system, planets are like grains of sand in a region the size of a football field. The time that planets take to ...

Orbital resonance, a phenomenon where planetary orbital periods exhibit whole-number ratios, is observed in approximately 5% of planetary systems, exemplified by Neptune and Pluto's 3:2 resonance and ...

This facility is a shared resource serving the University of Wyoming community and beyond. It currently houses six NMR spectrometers that are used for a multitude of research in science, engineering, ...

Some concepts—like the difference between single, double, triple bonds—are best explored in a visual way, and the ODYSSEY Multiple Bonds and Resonance app provides a nice way to do so via virtual 3D ...

In the event of a breakdown, any number of issues may be the culprit, but there’s one in particular that’s particularly challenging to diagnose: resonance. Resonance can be a problem in any machine, ...

Orbital resonance Resonance happens when planets or moons have orbital periods that are ratios of whole numbers. The orbital period is the time taken for a planet to make one complete circuit of the ...

Astronomers studying six planets orbiting a star 100 light years away have found that the planets orbit their star in perfect synchrony, with orbital periods that are ratios of whole numbers. This ...
