Scientists have discovered something uncanny about the pace of the solar system. Findings regarding this have been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. The study is conducted by a ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Dementia is one source of confusion. But as the April 8 total eclipse of the sun approaches and things astronomical come front and center, we’re at risk for another. It’s an expanse so expansive that ...

There have been plenty of attempts to resolve the "Hubble Tension" in cosmology. This feature describes how one of the most important variables in cosmology, the expansion of the universe, takes on ...

Scientists explore the Interplanetary Habitable Zone framework to evaluate habitability beyond the Goldilocks Zone, considering energy, radiation, transport, and material factors in planetary systems.

What is the actual speed and direction of our solar system as it moves through the cosmos, and how does this compare to longstanding cosmology models? This is what a recent study published in Physical ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started releasing its first discoveries: including supernovae, variable stars and asteroids ...

A proposed five-satellite Cosmic Positioning System could measure cosmic distances directly and help address discrepancies in the Hubble constant through solar system–scale triangulation.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course. When ...

When I was a kid, the solar system was simple. There were nine planets and they all orbited in more-or-less circles around the sun. This same sun-and-a-handful-of-planets scheme repeated itself again ...
