Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation ...

The solar system moved through a star-forming area near Orion. This event might have increased interstellar dust around Earth ...

She mapped our solar system's "alternate fate" had it housed an extra planet between Mars and Jupiter instead of the existing asteroid belt. Simpson's paper, "How might a planet between Mars and ...

The stars may not be aligning on Friday night, but seven planets in our solar system just may be. For weeks, outer space ...

The SPHEREx telescope will create the most colorful map of the cosmos, while the four satellites of the PUNCH mission track ...

The entire solar system, ours at least, sits inside a pocket of low density called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This cavity in space is 1,000 light-years across, at least, and tips the thermometer at ...

Astronomers believe they've discovered a spiral structure inside the Oort cloud that surrounds our solar system.

Our solar system is currently at the peak, or "solar maximum," of an approximately 11-year cycle of magnetic activity coming from the sun. This peak, dubbed Solar Cycle 25, will last into 2026 ...

A new mission designed to better understand the heliosphere will be the first to map in three dimensions how the solar corona becomes the solar wind.

The team's research indicates the solar system's passage through the Orion region occurred between approximately 18.2 and 11.5 million years ago, with the most likely time between 14.8 and 12.4 ...
