Hello, I'm a student in Higher School Preparatory Classes, I'm doing a research on "the dynamics of celestial bodies".
I already included some notions of the motion of planets around the sun and the solar system around the center of the galaxy in my research, but it is not enough. I need resources on the web or some interesting points that I can add to my work because I need to include some "added value" to it and I'm really lost right now .
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hello Aymen, :welcome:

You could include some stuff from Celestia . The images are really beautiful.

And the math can be found under Kepler Orbit but some of that is quite a tough read !

By the way, I'm not so certain about "the solar system moves around the center of the galaxy"...

Thank you. The problem is that we already studied Kepler's laws and celestial mechanics last year and I need something new in my research.
Isn't the sun orbiting the center of the galaxy? it completes one revolution every 225–250 million years.
Here's a link from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System#Galactic_context

Impressive ! Obviously you know more about this than I do. Hats off! (I didn't learn about Kepler until at university...:rolleyes: ).

Re the "something new" in your mission: you yourself are best qualified to give some examples; perhaps a few keywords can inspire others to get you going where none have before ...

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep looking.
 

Related to Exploring the Dynamics of Celestial Bodies: A Journey Through the Universe

What is meant by the term "dynamics of celestial bodies"?

The dynamics of celestial bodies refers to the study of the motion and interactions of objects in space, such as planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies. This includes understanding the forces and laws that govern their movements, as well as the effects of gravity, rotational motion, and other factors.

How do scientists measure the dynamics of celestial bodies?

Scientists use a variety of techniques and tools to measure the dynamics of celestial bodies. These include telescopes, satellites, radar systems, and spacecraft. They also use mathematical models and simulations to predict the movements of celestial bodies.

What are some of the key principles and laws that govern the dynamics of celestial bodies?

The dynamics of celestial bodies are primarily governed by Newton's laws of motion, which describe how objects move in response to forces. In addition, Kepler's laws of planetary motion and the law of universal gravitation play a key role in understanding the movements of celestial bodies.

Why is it important to study the dynamics of celestial bodies?

Studying the dynamics of celestial bodies allows us to gain a deeper understanding of our solar system and the universe. It also helps us to predict and explain phenomena such as eclipses, planetary orbits, and gravitational interactions. This knowledge is crucial for space exploration, satellite navigation, and other practical applications.

What are some current areas of research in the field of dynamics of celestial bodies?

Some current areas of research in the dynamics of celestial bodies include studying the effects of gravitational interactions between objects, investigating the formation and evolution of planetary systems, and exploring the dynamics of objects in the outer reaches of our solar system. Scientists are also using advanced technologies and techniques to better understand and model the complex movements of celestial bodies.
