The authors of the study observed that the ages of spherule beds are well-correlated with the solar system’s movement into spiral arms around 3.25 and 3.45 billion years ago.

Through the Radcliffe Wave. Astronomers reconstructed the Solar System’s movement relative to the Milky Way’s core and found it passed through the Radcliffe wave, a star-forming gas cloud that ...

Looking at the Solar System's path, and mapping the Local Ribbon of Cold Clouds, the team found we have likely traveled through denser regions in the past.

New research has found evidence that Earth's early continents resulted from being hit by comets as our Solar System passed into and out of the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy, turning ...

They say it’s a rare, frozen-in-time cosmic wonder that can help explain how solar systems across the galaxy came to be. The compact in-sync system, announced Wednesday, is 100 light-years away ...

Painters have played a significant but underappreciated role in our exploration of the worlds in our solar system. Scientists tend to specialize in narrow aspects of reality — spectroscopy ...

If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would orbit similarly to how it does now, but it would be a lot colder. We don’t know what matter looks like inside ...

In 2011, a project that surveyed the Milky Way galaxy for exoplanets — which are planets beyond our solar system — spotted an intriguing signal: They found two objects traveling together ...
