Far beyond Neptune, in the frozen depths of the Kuiper Belt, many ancient objects oddly resemble giant snowmen made of ice ...

O n the outer edge of our solar system, past Neptune’s orbit, lies the Kuiper Belt, a wide band of small bodies drifting ...

Our solar system hosts almost 900 known moons; more than 400 orbit the eight planets while the remaining orbit dwarf planets, ...

Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Astronomers found a strange planetary system 116 light-years away. It orbits a red dwarf star called LHS 1903. The planets are arranged in an unexpected order. The outermost planet is rocky, which ...

Researchers have finally determined the shape of the heliosphere, the magnetic bubble that protects our Solar System from galactic radiation. Unlike previous models, this zone, generated by solar wind ...

Computer simulations suggest NASA’s Habitable Worlds Observatory could detect Earth-like exomoons around gas giant exoplanets through reflected starlight and lunar eclipses.

For decades, scientists have believed that planetary systems typically form with rocky planets close to their star and gas-rich planets farther away. This discovery questions their knowledge.

Researchers at the University at Albany are building a computer model that will predict weather-related electrical outages across North America.

Astronomers have long debated why so many icy objects in the outer solar system look like snowmen. Michigan State University ...

Zeo Energy Corp., a Florida-based residential solar installer that acquired struggling concentrated solar thermal developer ...

Planetary systems in the Milky Way galaxy tend to follow a particular pattern: rocky planets toward the center, closest to ...
