In the distant reaches of the solar system are many icy objects that resemble snowmen. Now, a new study reveals the simple ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Our solar system may not be as isolated as we once thought. According to a new study, more than 1 million interstellar objects could be lurking in the outer reaches of our cosmic neighborhood, quietly ...

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 ...

A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature permits. That is the striking result from a University of Cambridge-led ...

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course. When ...

Billions of years ago, while the solar system was still young, a massive object may have drifted into it. It's not a spaceship, but it is an alien visitor in its own right—a colossal interstellar body ...

A passing star, or a stellar flyby, with the potential to pull Neptune out of its orbit by just 0.1%, could mean catastrophe for the entire solar system. But don’t worry — it won’t happen in our ...

This reason is enough to delay the Artemis II mission further, says a Mexican nuclear physicist to the Starlust team.

If you were to perfectly follow the steps in An Idiot's Guide to Making a Solar System, you should eventually find yourself with a star surrounded by a flat disc of planetary material orbiting in ...
