Planetary Scientist Visualize How Earth and Other Planets Don’t Orbit the Sun
A scientist from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency has visualized planets orbiting the ‘barycenter’.
What had been taught to us in elementary school wasn’t completely correct: a little further information was missing. The Earth does not in fact orbit the Sun, but the Sun orbits the gravity center of the Solar System along with all the other planets. The adscititious detail, which had provided a bigger picture for scientists to make discoveries, has been visualized.
A planetary scientist from Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, JAXA, has created a small animation explaining the situation, earlier this year.
