A new 3D map of Uranus is shedding light on one of the solar system's most mysterious planets. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists observed the ice giant for nearly a full rotation, ...

This project is meant to make learning the solar system interactive and visual. Instead of only reading facts, you can fly around space, focus on planets/moons, and see how everything relates in one ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers who discovered it using telescopes from NASA and the European Space Agency, ...

NASA shared some new infrared images of the 3I/ATLAS interstellar comet this week, showing the visitor brightening up in a dramatic outburst while exiting a solar system. The images were taken by the ...

Additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing by enabling customized, cost-effective products with minimal waste. However, with the majority of 3D printers operating on open-loop systems, ...

Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT), a team of astronomers have obtained the sharpest and most detailed images yet of the asteroid Kleopatra. The observations ...

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.

Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a novel extrusion system that combines multiple 3D-printing extruders into a single, high-output stream via ...

The first few exoplanets were discovered in the early 1990s. But it wasn’t until the early 2000s, when astronomers began carrying out large-scale, long-term surveys of other stars, that we started to ...

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have developed a three-dimensional electrical imaging technique that ...

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 ...
