Updated measurements from NASA’s Juno spacecraft could help researchers better understand the planet's mysterious interior, ...

A NASA spacecraft has just reached its permanent observation point to begin a mission unlike any before. Known as IMAP, the ...

Learn how to build a 3D solar system simulation using Python! This tutorial guides you through coding planetary motion, visualizing orbits, and creating an interactive model of our solar system.

Earth has the perfect combination of a livable atmosphere and a protective magnetic field that prevents the Sun's harmful radiation and radioactive solar winds from damaging us, allowing us to live on ...

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 ...

Astronomers have spotted an intriguing cluster of objects in the Kuiper belt, the enormous, donut-shaped region of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. This latest “inner kernel” was identified by ...

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas recently reached its perihelion, the point at which it is closest to the sun. It will now move away from the star at about 210,000 kilometers per hour until it escapes ...

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 ...

The search for an unknown planet in our solar system has inspired astronomers for more than a century. Now, a recent study suggests a potential new candidate, which the paper’s authors have dubbed ...

3I/ATLAS likely weighs more than 33 billion tons. The interstellar object hurtling toward the inner solar system, where Earth is located, is much larger than previously thought, astronomers say. A ...
