A large radio galaxy study finds our solar system moves faster than theory predicts, raising new questions about how matter ...

The universe is supposed to look the same no matter where you stand. That idea, known as the cosmological principle, sits at ...

The team, led by astrophysicist Lukas Böhme at Bielefeld University, found that the universe is, in fact, moving more than ...

“Our analysis shows that the solar system is moving more than three times faster than current models predict,” Böhme ...

In March, ESA's spacecraft Solar Orbiter had its first clear view of the Sun’s south pole. A first analysis has now been published. Huge cells of hot plasma cover the Sun and create the large-scale, ...

From an early age, we are taught to understand that the planets of our solar system change in position while orbiting a central star, the sun. But does the sun itself move within the solar system?

A newly discovered cluster of objects called the “inner kernel” of the Kuiper belt could teach us about the early history of ...

The Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies are predicted to collide and merge between 3.9 and 5.6 billion years from now, based on observed relative motion. The merger process will involve multiple ...

Discover the dramatic forces creating spectacular weather on neighboring planets and moons. Out in the solar system, the weather gets wacky – with globe-spanning dust storms, monsoons of liquid ...

Study from Bielefeld finds major departure from the standard model. How fast and in what direction is our solar system moving through space? This question, though simple in appearance, plays a central ...
