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 ...

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

The shocking findings were part of a recent study in which astronomers effectively peered back in time to discover what Jupiter was like in its early years. Jupiter is not only the largest in the ...

Voyager 1 and 2 traveled billions of miles to reach the heliopause, showing how the Sun's magnetic influence marks the ...

The telescope is part of a cluster of four observatories that include two in Hawaii and one in South Africa, whose job is to do exactly what the Chile telescope did: scan the skies for interstellar ...

Despite common assumptions, the disk of our Solar System is warped, and the planets travel around the Sun in slightly eccentric (or oblong) orbits. Scientists now think that a mysterious object ...

For every rule in the cosmos, there is a spectacular exception. While most planets orbit in a neat plane, Pluto tumbles at a ...

Over 80% of exoplanetary systems with three or more planets exhibit a "peas-in-a-pod" architecture, characterized by similarly sized planets closely spaced and orbiting near their star. A new study ...

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 ...

Discover the powerful volcanic eruptions that have shaped worlds across our solar system. Around our solar system, violent eruptions are shaping distant worlds. Discover the explosive forces that ...

NASA released new images of 3I/ATLAS, the third comet ever to be discovered in Earth's cosmic neighborhood originating from ...

Jupiter is already the biggest planet by far in our solar system, but new research suggests it was somehow once even larger than it is now. Twice as large, in fact. To put that into context, those ...
