[QUOTE="James Snover, post: 16616155, member: 67454"] The answer is: the more massive something is, the more it curves space near if. The space around the sun is so warped it is actually difficult to get anything small in any kind of stable orbit. Because despite its gravity, it tends to just fling things away from it. You can see this in the orbits of planets and comets. Planets are big, and have mostly circular orbits with just a bit of elliptical to them. Comets have hugely elliptical orbits and many are not stable. Debris does crash into the sun, every day. But itakes forever for any one bit of debris to hit that perfect trajectory. It only happens because the solar system is an amazingly dirty place. So they had toss the probe out there with our biggest rocket and get a gravity boost off Venus just to get put in the right place. Sent from my iPad using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
