"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be ...
As you read, you are flying through space at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour. Not only is our planet hurtling around the Sun at incredible speeds, our entire solar system is thought to be ...
Pluto has been added to the University of Arizona’s scale-model walking tour of the solar system, but will that be enough to mend the dwarf planet’s broken heart? Not likely, according to a recent ...
New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...
Understanding how the Sun and its activity impact Earth and the solar system is important because solar storms affect the technology we use on Earth and in space. Now, a team of heliophysicists and ...
A study of comet motions indicates that the Solar System has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point ...
A new explanation for the solar system's radioactive elements suggests Earth-like planets might be found orbiting up to 50 ...
A scale model of the solar system, with each planet depicted in relief on individual square granite markers installed atop concrete bases embedded in the ground. Each planet bears a laser etched ...
