Learn about the solar system from a pair of real space museum curators in sci-fi game Elite Dangerous, as Abbie MacKinnon and Laura Joy Pieters of the London Science Museum give a guided tour of ...

Credit: University of Western Ontario Gregg, a Ph.D. candidate in physics and astronomy, developed a computer model to study our solar system, Alpha Centauri and the interstellar activity—the ...

According to the team, the gravitational pull of our solar system's planets and passing stars do not have much of an effect on the Oort Cloud. The team's new model was plotted from "a viewpoint of ...

The Oort cloud is a shell of icy objects that forms the very outskirts of our Solar System. Recently, a group of researchers discovered that the inner portion of the Oort cloud likely has spiral ...

The team's research indicates the Solar System's passage through the Orion region occurred between approximately 18.2 and 11.5 million years ago, with the most likely time between 14.8 and 12.4 ...

HELSINKI — Researchers are examining how artificial intelligence technologies could support a planned Chinese mission to the boundaries of the solar system ... to sense and model unknown ...

When Copernicus was born, the scientific consensus was that the Earth was at the center of the solar system and the sun and planets revolved around it. Geocentric model of the solar system which ...

Ever since Isaac Newton famously talked about gravity, its dominance as a force in our solar system has been well known. It's responsible for the orbits of the planets and their satellites ...

All of our solar system’s planets are lining up to parade through the night sky at once. This extraordinary celestial event will see the sky scattered with seven visible planets in what is known ...

A JWST/DiSCo-TNOs portrait of the primordial Solar System through its trans-Neptunian objects. Nature Astronomy , 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02433-2 Cite This Page : ...

The work joins other studies that have proposed interstellar flybys to explain eccentricities in the orbits of certain objects in the solar system. The solar system is approximately 4.6 billion ...

which they incorporated into the map to build a 3D interactive model of the solar system's cosmic neighborhood. This included another previously known interstellar medium tunnel called the Canis ...
