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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

In A Nutshell Arrokoth, a snowman-shaped object billions of miles from Earth, is one of the oldest and least-disturbed relics of the early solar system Scientists have long debated whether its two ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...
