Auroras are not just on Earth. NASA has detected glowing northern and southern lights on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and other ...

White dwarfs, the compact remnants of low- to intermediate-mass stars, offer a unique window into the fate of planetary systems. Recent observational and theoretical work has revealed that many white ...

The Solar System remains a unique natural laboratory for exploring the processes that govern planetary formation, evolution and dynamics. Contemporary research continues to refine our understanding of ...

A Sun-type star situated nearly 3,000 light-years from Earth has provided astronomers with a unique opportunity to observe an unusual after-effect of a planetary system’s evolution. When this star, ...

NASA’s newly launched IMAP mission is set to tell us more about the boundary between our Solar System and interstellar space ...

Astronomers have discovered more than 300 exoplanetary systems that have three or more known planets. Most of these planets are about the same size and spaced close together, earning them the moniker ...

Our solar system is a smashing success. A new study suggests that from its earliest period — even before the last of its nebular gas had been consumed — Earth’s solar system and its planets looked ...

While its star projector leaves a lot to be desired, the Science Can Solar System Planetary Projector is a fantastic educational tool for kids, with its solar system model, complete with talking ...

A rare discovery beyond Neptune is forcing scientists to rethink early solar system dynamics and the forces that shaped ...

A new machine learning model has predicted that there are 44 Earth-like planets in other star systems in the Milky Way galaxy, with researchers from Switzerland claiming that the algorithm at the core ...

Astronomers watched a distant star dim for months and found a metal-rich cloud that may be the aftermath of a massive ...
