The Solar System is a weird place filled with incredible physics and geological oddities that often break down in human terms ...

What is the actual speed and direction of our solar system as it moves through the cosmos, and how does this compare to longstanding cosmology models? This is what a recent study published in Physical ...

Earlier estimates of its age were around 7 billion years, but a new study suggests it’s much older.

Our solar system is way more bizarre and dynamic than what our school textbooks taught us. From Venus being super hot to ...

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 ...

Estimating ages of specific events is one of the most difficult problems in astrophysics. While we have a precise (and probably accurate) age for the solar system, we do not have precise ages for each ...

Meet the surprising, oddball worlds moving around our solar system. From meteorites that impact Earth, to a moon that orbits backwards, to an imposter lurking in the asteroid belt, a variety of ...

There’s a bit of a paradox about our galaxy: it’s both jam-packed with stars and cavernously empty. The Milky Way is crowded in the sense that it holds hundreds of billions of stars, as well as ...
