A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Every once in a while, the outer solar system reminds us that we've only discovered a negligible portion of it, and that the vast majority is still full of surprises. The latest example of this is a ...

The first few exoplanets were discovered in the early 1990s. But it wasn’t until the early 2000s, when astronomers began carrying out large-scale, long-term surveys of other stars, that we started to ...

Our solar system appears to be moving through the universe far faster than standard cosmology says it should. A new study of radio galaxies by a team in Germany suggests the solar system’s motion ...

To determine the motion of the Solar System, Bielefeld University astrophysicist Lukas Böhme and his colleagues analyzed the distribution of radio galaxies. “Our analysis shows that the Solar System ...

Our solar system is speeding through space much faster than previously thought, challenging the fundamental assumptions that have long shaped our understanding of the cosmos. That’s according to ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...
