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 group of astronomers has found a solar system 116 light-years from Earth that seems to challenge current theories about how ...

Far beyond Neptune, in the frozen depths of the Kuiper Belt, many ancient objects oddly resemble giant snowmen made of ice and rock. For years, scientists wondered how these delicate two-lobed shapes ...

Astronomers are closing in on one of the most tantalizing possibilities in planetary science, evidence that a previously unknown world may be lurking in the outer reaches of the solar system. The ...

“While 3I/ATLAS is a visitor from interstellar space, travelling from outside the Solar System, its behaviour is completely ...

The Solar System remains a unique natural laboratory for exploring the processes that govern planetary formation, evolution and dynamics. Contemporary research continues to refine our understanding of ...

Astronomers have reportedly discovered a skyscraper-sized asteroid moving through our solar system at a near record-breaking pace. The asteroid, named 2025 SC79, circles the sun once every 128 days, ...

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 ...

Our solar system is a smashing success. A new study suggests that from its earliest period — even before the last of its nebular gas had been consumed — Earth’s solar system and its planets looked ...

In the distant reaches of the solar system are many icy objects that resemble snowmen. Now, a new study reveals the simple ...

Deep within the Kuiper belt, some small worlds look like they were assembled from two mismatched snowballs pressed together.
