A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble.

In a solar system 100 light years away, six planets are locked into a precise dance. The amount of time it takes each one to orbit the system’s sun forms a neat ratio with the orbits of ...

"For 98% to 99% of the solar system's lifetime, the planets' orbits have been nice and stable," Raymond said. As a result, you can use the planets' current orbital dynamics to make a pretty ...

“We predict the existence of an Earth-like planet and several TNOs on peculiar orbits in the outer solar system,” write the authors, Patryk Sofia Lykawka of Kindai University, Japan and ...

Everyone knows about the Solar System, and the planets that make it up ... and they have very long orbits which means they are found further out in our solar system.” Given this distance ...

After a decade-long search, some scientists say a growing number of clues point to the existence of a hidden planet in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune — and they may soon have the opportunity to find ...

Nathan Kaib, co-author of the study and astronomer at the Planetary Science Institute, stated it is plausible for the Solar System to have ... significantly elongated orbits, unlike the near ...

isn't spherical like our own moon — or many moons in our solar system, for that matter — but rather irregular like an asteroid. Measuring roughly 17 miles by 14 miles by 11 miles (27 by 22 by 18 ...

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation ...

Our solar system used to ... professor of astronomy and planetary sciences at Northern Arizona University. Sheppard and Trujillo were the first to notice that the orbits of a handful of known ...
