The evolution of our solar system was discerned from various factors, tracing them back to the point of origin. However, a groundbreaking observation might topple the existing models of how the ...
About 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity. The Sun, planets, and eventually Earth formed out of the cloud. But when did ...
Researchers rarely get a glimpse of an interstellar object up close like 3I-ATLAS, so they have jumped on the opportunity to learn about its composition, which can reveal how planet systems are made.
The space object, named Chiron, is believed to be a piece of rock measuring a whopping 130 miles wide at its broadest point - ...
The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas ...
Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a ...
Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our Solar System, completing a rotation in less than 10 hours. This rapid spin ...
Webb just spotted a carbon-rich moon factory 625 light-years away, revealing how moons like ours may have first taken shape.
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — On July 1, 2025, an interstellar object named 3I/ATLAS was discovered and on July 17 a paper was co-published by Abraham Loeb from the University of ...
Astronomers have identified 3I/ATLAS, an ancient, ice-rich interstellar comet potentially older than our solar system.
I/ATLAS is rich in carbon dioxide and challenging comet-theories. NASA's latest findings reveal why this interstellar visitor ...
When NASA's Osiris-REx spacecraft delivered its sample from asteroid Bennu to Earth in 2023, scientists opened an ancient time capsule. Inside it were grains of dust and rock older than our solar ...
