Most of the comets and asteroids astronomers track were born in the solar system and are bound to loop around the Sun ...

Recent astronomical observations have thrown a curveball at our understanding of the cosmos. The solar system, it seems, is hurtling through space at a velocity three times greater than previously ...

The comet is the third object ever confirmed to have entered our cosmic neighborhood from elsewhere in the galaxy. Space telescopes and orbiters have been documenting the rare visit. A mysterious ...

NASA unveiled close-up pictures on Wednesday of the interstellar comet that's making a quick one-and-done tour of the solar system. Discovered over the summer, the comet known as 3I/Atlas is only the ...

One year ago, on July 1 2025, astronomers discovered a fascinating new object moving through the Solar System. Detected by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), the object was ...

Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics scientists have been able to disentangle the X-ray glow originating in our solar system from similar emission reaching us from deep space, using data ...

Astronomers have uncovered a massive new trans-Neptunian object, 2017 OF201, lurking at the edge of our solar system. With an orbit stretching 25,000 years and a size that may qualify it as a dwarf ...

"We not only reconstructed an unaltered image of the emissions from deep space, but also obtained valuable information on the solar wind emitted in all directions." When you purchase through links on ...

Solar storms satellites must withstand are among the most powerful natural space events, driven by space weather activity that releases massive energy bursts into the solar system. These events ...

For obvious reasons, the Sun’s influence weakens as you get closer to the edge of the solar system. But things might be a lot more complicated than we previously thought, according to a new study.
