The Gaia telescope spotted more than 6,000 sunlike stars, all of which appear to have migrated from the galaxy's center more ...

The inner solar system is home to four rocky worlds that formed under the intense heat of the young Sun. This video explores Mercury, the scarred planet that is slowly shrinking; Venus, where a ...

We're starting to see just how exceptional our own solar system and its history is, as more exoplanets are discovered. A fourth exoplanet discovery in the LHS 1903 system made by ESA's CHEOPS mission ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

A groundbreaking study in galactic archaeology proves the Sun made a treacherous journey to reach its current home in the ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that our Sun may have traveled across the Milky Way as part of a massive migration of ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

A newly discovered interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS is racing through our Solar System on a hyperbolic trajectory at more ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...

The proposed interstellar spacecraft, called Chrysalis, can carry 1,000 people on a one-way trip into deep interstellar space. It was proposed as part.

Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.
