Astronomers have witnessed the birth of a solar system beyond our own for the first time. An international team of researchers has been able to pinpoint the exact moment when planets began to form ...

Astronomers have discovered that the Solar System traversed the Orion star-forming complex, a component of the Radcliffe Wave galactic structure, approximately 14 million years ago. This journey ...

A computer visualization maps small bodies in the solar system that are expected to be observed by the Rubin Observatory during the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Red indicates near ...

In a remarkable breakthrough, NASA's Voyager spacecraft has ventured beyond the Solar System to reveal a fascinating phenomenon: a searing "wall" of high temperature located outside our cosmic ...

Most meteorites, however, originate from the solar system's main asteroid belt —a vast region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where more than a million asteroids circle the sun.

An "interstellar object" is speeding toward the inner solar system, where Earth is located, astronomers have confirmed. The object -- likely a comet -- was first detected in data collected between ...

A possible dwarf planet, like Pluto, has been observed in our solar system, according to a preprint published in arXiv. The area of space where this planet was found was previously thought empty.
