In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has revealed an unexpected spiral structure within the inner ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System traveled through a densely populated galactic region and was exposed to increased ...

Even the little-understood Oort Cloud, at the outer edges of our solar system beyond view, has a partly spiral structure.

NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer has provided fresh insights into the Oort cloud – ​​a vast, theoretical spherical shell of icy ...

So what will all this galactic motion do to the solar ... Milky Way/Andromeda close encounter. However, if this were not true, and provided that Earth wasn’t dislodged from the solar system ...

Early in our Solar System’s history, bits of icy debris were scattered and then gradually coaxed into a spiral alignment in ...

the Milky Way. Now, using a powerful NASA supercomputer called "Pleiades," scientists have discovered yet another spiral structure on the edge of our solar system. The spiral is composed of ...

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 ...

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

NASA has launched the SPHEREx telescope to uncover the ingredients for life in our galaxy, as well as the PUNCH mission to study the sun’s mysteries.

The Oort cloud is a shell of icy objects that forms the very outskirts of our Solar System. Recently, a group of researchers ...

Moreover, the model accounts for the gravitational influences acting on the Oort cloud, both from within our solar system and from external sources like other stars and the Milky Way galaxy's center.
