  2. Universe Sandbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_Sandbox

    Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...

  3. Artificial sunlight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_sunlight

    Artificial sunlight is useful in treating and preventing seasonal affective disorder (also known as winter depression, which causes depression symptoms specifically in winter), [3] and delayed sleep phase syndrome, in which the circadian rhythm (the rhythmic alternation between daylight and nighttime behavior and bodily states) is disturbed and the person falls asleep much later than he or she ...

  4. Solar simulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_simulator

    A solar simulator (also artificial sun or sunlight simulator) is a device that provides illumination approximating natural sunlight. The purpose of the solar simulator is to provide a controllable indoor test facility under laboratory conditions.

  5. Heliospheric current sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliospheric_current_sheet

    The heliospheric current sheet rotates along with the Sun with a period of about 25 days, during which time the peaks and troughs of the skirt pass through the Earth's magnetosphere, interacting with it. Near the surface of the Sun, the magnetic field produced by the radial electric current in the sheet is of the order of 5 × 10 −6 T. [2]

  6. List of artificial objects leaving the Solar System - Wikipedia

    In order to leave the Solar System, the probe needs to reach the local escape velocity. Escape velocity from the sun without the influence of Earth is 42.1 km/s. In order to reach this speed, it is highly advantageous to use as a boost the orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun, which is 29.78 km/s.

    The Solar Orbiter (SolO) [7] is a Sun-observing probe developed by the European Space Agency (ESA) with a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) contribution. Solar Orbiter, designed to obtain detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and the nascent solar wind , will also perform close observations of the polar regions of ...

  9. Orbiter (simulator) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbiter_(simulator)

    Orbiter was developed as a simulator, [14] with accurately modeled planetary motion, gravitation effects (including non-spherical gravity), free space, atmospheric flight and orbital decay. [15] [16] The position of the planets in the solar system is calculated by the VSOP87 solution, while the Earth-Moon system is simulated by the ELP2000 ...
