"Even with just early, engineering-quality data, Rubin discovered 11,000 asteroids and measured more precise orbits for tens ...

These images, taken with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows a planetary system being born around the young star WISPIT 2. The star is surrounded by a disc of gas and ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Across cities and suburbs, a quiet energy revolution is unfolding. Instead of large rooftop arrays installed by contractors, a growing number of households are experimenting with small, plug-in solar ...

In this study, NRM measurements suggest that the observed characteristics of Ryugu particles is a chemical remanent magnetization, likely acquired during growth of framboidal magnetite that occurred ...

(Nanowerk News) Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 particles from the asteroid Ryugu has provided the most detailed evidence yet of magnetic fields present in the early solar system. A research team led by ...

The standard story of the origin of our solar system has gone like this: 4.6 billion years ago, a giant cloud of dust hung frozen in space. Then the explosion of a nearby star caused part of that dust ...

In late 2025 a mysterious comet flew between the orbits of Earth and Mars and reached a speed of more than 150,000 miles per hour during its closest approach to the sun. The rare interstellar guest to ...

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was the third object ever discovered in our solar system that originated from another star system. Despite a viral conspiracy theory, NASA officials have repeatedly ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered a distant planetary system that challenges long-standing theories of how planets form. Across our galaxy, astronomers routinely observe a ...

WASHINGTON — An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers who discovered it using telescopes from NASA and the European ...
