A new model has been developed to simulate interstellar activity within our solar system and the nearby Alpha Centauri system. Interstellar material has been found within our solar system, but ...

A solar jet captured by the Solar Orbiter unleashed a mind-blowing 200,000-fold increase in a rare helium isotope, 3He – far ...

This isotope is found at a ratio of about one per 2,500 helium-4 ions, the latter being the common version of helium.

Outside the path of totality, observers will still be able to witness a partial solar eclipse, where only a portion of the sun is covered by the moon. Total solar eclipses are rare and highly ...

Sub-Neptune planets that are smaller than Neptune in size are the most common type of planet known to exist in the Milky Way, but they are absent from the solar system. They have atmospheres that ...

The HR 8799 system, a mere 30 million years old, is a cosmic youngster compared to our 4.6 billion-year-old solar system. Its planets, still radiating heat from their turbulent formation ...

Located at the AdventHealth corporate headquarters in Altamonte Springs, Florida, the new 3-MW solar photovoltaic system advances the health system’s goal to cut emissions in half by 2030 and achieve ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799 ... Targeting the 3-5 micrometer wavelength range, the ...

Targeting the 3-5 micrometer wavelength range, the team found that the four HR 8799 planets contain more heavy elements than previously thought, another hint that they formed in the same way as our ...

Or maybe you’ve got a solar system project due tomorrow and no idea where to start? Either way, these Free Solar System Worksheets (PDF) are here to save the day (and maybe your sanity). Perfect for ...

This diagram shows the approximate relative sizes of our solar system’s planets, moons and dwarf planets ... The oldest unambiguous evidence of life on Earth is from 3.5 billion years ago, after the ...
