Space weather can be a silent threat, its effects often invisible until disaster strikes. Yet, as humanity grows more ...

Spirals of solar wind can spin off larger solar eruptions and disrupt Earth's magnetic field, yet they are too difficult to ...

The shocking findings were part of a recent study in which astronomers effectively peered back in time to discover what Jupiter was like in its early years. Jupiter is not only the largest in the ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, as some researchers suspect, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny ...

Theorbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune may have been altered by the fly-by of an enormous object from deep space, billions of years ago. According to a pre-print research paper, which is yet ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - Astronomers recently made an important discovery when they found a rare "in-sync" solar system with six planets all moving in one big grand harmony, completely untouched by outside ...

Scientists have been trying to find a hypothetical Planet 9 that may exist outside our known solar system based on the unusual orbits of certain dwarf planets. But those orbits might not require a ...

Computer simulations have revealed a plausible explanation for a phenomenon that has puzzled astronomers: Rather than occupying orbits at regular distances from a star, giant gas planets similar to ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare in-sync solar system with six planets moving like a grand cosmic orchestra, untouched by outside forces since their birth billions of years ago. The find, announced ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why all of the planets in Earth’s solar system have slightly slanted orbits around the sun. But a new, Yale-led study suggests this phenomenon may not be so unusual ...
