For the first time, researchers have found what seems to be a cloud of dark matter about 60 million times the mass of the sun in our galactic neighbourhood ...

For over 50 years, we thought we knew the size and shape of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet. Now, Weizmann ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...

A new study with the incredibly exciting title of "Overdispersed Radio Source Counts and Excess Radio Dipole Detection" has announced quite a thrilling discovery, indeed: Our solar system is moving ...

It may not feel like it, but everything in the universe is in constant motion. Our Sun, with all its planets, orbits the center of the Milky Way, flying through the cosmos at around 450,000 miles per ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

For many, space travel is unrealistic – spaceships are expensive, and interplanetary exploration doesn’t fit in with a 9-to-5 schedule. But soon, Durangoans dreaming of voyaging through the solar ...

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 ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

Bielefeld scientist Lukas Böhme, lead author of the study, in front of the Lovell Telescope at the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in England. How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has traveled farther than any spacecraft in human history. After more than four decades of silent endurance through space, it now sails beyond the orbit of the outer ...
