History of Solar System formation and evolution hypotheses with Uranus having a 98° tilt. The Moon being relatively large with respect to the Earth and other moons which are in irregular orbits with respect to their planet is yet another issue. It is now believed these observations are explained by events which happened after the initial formation of the Solar System. Attempts to isolate the physical source of the Sun's energy, and thus determine when and how it might ultimately run out, began in the 19th century. At that time, the prevailing scientific view on the source of the Sun's heat was that it was generated by gravitational
Aonia Terra Aonia Terra Aonia Terra is a region in the southern hemisphere of the planet Mars. It is named after a classical albedo feature, the "Bay of the Muses" and its name was approved in 1979, by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature. It is centered at and covers 3900 km at its broadest extent. It covers latitudes 30 to 81 South and longitudes 60 to 163 W. Aonia Terra is an upland area notable for massive cratering including the large Lowell Crater, parts of the region features small craters, in the plain areas, Thaumasia Fossae
