Even though gravity pulls everything into a round shape, not all planets are perfectly spherical. As per a report presented by spaceplace(dot)nasa(dot)gov, some planets, especially the larger ones ...

But early in its history, the Red Planet may have had a much larger moon, which might be responsible for Mars' weird shape and extreme terrain, Michael Efroimsky, an astronomer at the U.S. Naval ...

Mars has a potato-shaped moon called Phobos; in fact, only about 20 of the nearly 300 known moons in the solar system are the familiar round shape we expect, the rest are more irregular.

Every planet in our solar system is essentially round. But out in the universe, are there any planets that aren't spherical? Technically, planets are round, by definition; they need to have enough ...

Dwarf planets are smaller planets that do not meet all three categories of a planet. According to NASA, they are round in shape and orbit the sun, but don’t clear their orbital path.

“The shape and pattern of these aeolian bedforms—geologic features shaped by wind—can tell us so much about the environment,” said Lauren Berger, who is the recipient of the NASA grant.“By comparing ...

Technically, planets are round, by definition; they need to have enough mass to produce the gravity required to pull themselves into a spherical shape. "Actually, ...

Today, Mars has two tiny moons. But early in its history, the Red Planet may have had a much larger moon, which might be responsible for Mars' weird shape and extreme terrain, Michael Efroimsky ...
