Humanity has learned to fling machines to the edge of the solar system, but the stars remain stubbornly out of reach. The ...

Recent observations of our corner of the universe suggest we have been living inside a hot, less dense region, and that there may even be a strange “cosmic interstellar channel,” or tunnel, connecting ...

Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...

Far beyond Neptune, at the outer rim of our Solar System, astronomers have spotted what resembles a hidden “structure” or “band” of small worlds. The Kuiper Belt is a vast ring of icy bodies beyond ...

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 ...

Astronomers have spotted an intriguing cluster of objects in the Kuiper belt, the enormous, donut-shaped region of icy objects beyond the orbit of Neptune. This latest “inner kernel” was identified by ...

NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center shared the images of comet 3I/ATLAS. It's possibly as big as Manhattan, likely older than our own solar system and it's traveling through space at speeds of up to ...

As you read, you are flying through space at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. Not only is our planet hurtling around the Sun at incredible speeds, our entire solar system is thought to be ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...

Observing a solar eclipse is technically possible from a wide area tracing the sun's path, but a total solar eclipse is the end boss of the experience. For those chasing that view, solar eclipse maps ...

Having made its closest approach to the sun on Wednesday October 29, comet 3I/ATLAS will soon be visible from Earth again—before it leaves our solar system. While the comet—first spotted in July—has ...
