The Earth, along with our entire solar system, is not stationary. It is in constant motion, traveling through space at incredible speeds. What if we told you that right now, you’re moving 640 times ...

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can trigger geomagnetic storms on Earth that cause brilliant auroras, disrupt satellites and communication systems, interfere with GPS accuracy, and potentially damage ...

Astronomers discover circular polarisation near massive protostar, offering insight into magnetic fields in star formation.

Is it hot enough for you? Are you out watering the garden twice a day? Could you fry an egg on the hood of your car? Is your pooch’s tongue lolling out of his mouth while he snoozes in the shade?

Astronomers have captured the first direct signs of planet formation around the young star HOPS-315, offering a glimpse into the early stages of planetary system development. Using the James Webb ...

Imagine being able to replay the formation of the Solar System, not in theory or simulation, but in real time, around a distant star. Just that is what scientists have achieved, capturing the first ...

Throughout the year meteors can often be spotted burning across the sky at incredible speeds. The space rocks are often called "shooting stars". Scientists estimate that about 48.5 tons (44 tonnes or ...

Using the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Gemini North telescope in Hawaii, astronomers have captured the first detailed image of our third known cosmic interloper.

Mercury stands stationary at 3 A.M. EDT amid the stars of Cancer. The solar system's smallest planet will now start sliding westward, or retrograde, appearing to "fall" back toward the Sun as it moves ...

Solar eclipses are spectacular astronomical events. They occur roughly every 18 months. Ancient cultures viewed eclipses as omens. During totality, stars and planets become visible. The Sun's corona ...

Astronomers have hoped for the existence of Planet Nine for years. Things were looking promising, but this discovery might ...

Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope have discovered a strange new body in a weird orbit at the edge of the solar system, which could be bad news for Planet Nine theories.
