At the farthest reach of the Sun’s influence, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has stumbled into a region that behaves less like empty space and more like a furnace, where charged particles heat to tens of ...
Earlier this summer, astronomers discovered something strange whizzing past Jupiter: an interstellar object. Scientists named it 3I/ATLAS. It’s only the third interstellar object ever observed, and it ...
Far from the Sun’s heat, orbiting the outer planets of the solar system, are moons with oceans of liquid water beneath their frozen surfaces. Keith Cooper finds out how planetary scientists are ...
