  2. Orbital decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_decay

    Orbital decay is a gradual decrease of the distance between two orbiting bodies at their closest approach (the periapsis) over many orbital periods. These orbiting bodies can be a planet and its satellite , a star and any object orbiting it, or components of any binary system .

  3. Stellar collision - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_collision

    Simulated collision of two neutron stars. A stellar collision is the coming together of two stars [1] caused by stellar dynamics within a star cluster, or by the orbital decay of a binary star due to stellar mass loss or gravitational radiation, or by other mechanisms not yet well understood.

  4. Gravitational-wave astronomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational-wave_astronomy

    The first indirect evidence for the existence of gravitational waves came in 1974 from the observed orbital decay of the Hulse–Taylor binary pulsar, which matched the decay predicted by general relativity as energy is lost to gravitational radiation.

  5. Night Glider mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Glider_mode

    The "night glider" mode is a hybrid orientation, [2] where the solar arrays track the sun during the period when the space station is illuminated, are rotated edge-on to the orbital direction when it enters in the Earth's shadow, and then are returned to their tracking position when the station re-enters sunlight. [3]
