According to the standard model of cosmology, the universe should be the same everywhere and look the same in every direction. A little caveat on this last part is that it’s the same in every ...

Astronomers measure the speed at which the solar system is hurtling through space by mapping surrounding galaxies and ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

Which solar system model is best? For as long as humans could look up at the night sky, we’ve been fascinated with the stars. How far away are they? Where did they come from? What secrets do they hide ...

SPACE (KXAN) — A star flying through the night sky may be the fastest-moving solar system in our galaxy. Possibly a planet a little larger than Neptune orbiting a small star, the system could be ...

Have you ever wondered just how big space really is? It’s huge. In fact, it’s astronomical! The Colorado Scale Model Solar System depicts the Sun, the planets, and the distances between them all on ...

As radio maps of distant galaxies came into focus, researchers saw a pattern they did not expect. Their new analysis now suggests the solar system may be racing through space far faster than long ...

Meet the surprising, oddball worlds moving around our solar system. From meteorites that impact Earth, to a moon that orbits backwards, to an imposter lurking in the asteroid belt, a variety of ...

Bielefeld scientist Lukas Böhme, lead author of the study, in front of the Lovell Telescope at the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in England. How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving ...
