Researchers reconstructed a roughly 2,000-year-old woman’s tattoos, from prowling tigers to a fantastical griffinlike creature.

Observations of the young HOPS-315 star system show an environment analogous to what our own nascent Solar System would have looked like billions of years ago.

Analysis of an ancient meteorite suggests that rocky planets both near and distant from the sun may have formed at the same time, challenging current models of our solar system’s evolution.

Observations of the young HOPS-315 star system show an environment analogous to what our own nascent Solar System would have looked like billions of years ago. The star is surrounded by a ...

And one day, the solar system will cease to exist. But when will the solar system end? And how will it die out? The answers to those questions depend on how we define the death of the solar system.

Astronomers have observed a solar system being formed for the first time, as hot gas condenses into solid minerals around the baby star (Picture: ESO) Astronomers have witnessed the creation of a ...

The solar system is filled with unexplained anomalies that even the brightest scientific minds struggle to explain. From strange planetary orbits to the peculiar behavior of distant moons, the ...

International astronomers have for the first time witnessed the birth of a planetary system beyond Earth's sun that could one day resemble our own.

A fascinating glimpse into how a solar system like our own is born has been revealed with the detection of planet-forming "pebbles" around two young stars.

Something unusual is moving through our solar system —a fast, faint object now confirmed to have originated beyond it.
