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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...
For every rule in the cosmos, there is a spectacular exception. While most planets orbit in a neat plane, Pluto tumbles at a wild angle and asteroids from a failed world zip between Mars and Jupiter.
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 ...
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 ...
PUNCH’s observations of comet 3I/ATLAS from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10, 2025, when the comet was between 231 million to 235 million miles from Earth. Each frame is a daily stacked image, made up of multiple ...
On August 24, 2006, our solar system lost a planet. It wasn't by cataclysmic destruction, but rather by the vote of the International Astronomical Union, which declared that Pluto, considered the ...
Nothing manmade has reached further from Earth than the Voyager series of spacecraft. Hurtling away from the sun at 38,000 miles an hour, the duo have now traveled over 12 billion miles, with Voyager ...
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 ...
