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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Scientists uncovered a vast cosmic bubble around our solar system, shaped by ancient supernovae. A hidden tunnel hints at a ...

What they found was surprising: the inner Oort Cloud seems to form a spiral disk, stretching about 15,000 astronomical units (AU) long. 1 AU is the distance between the Sun and the Earth (149.4 ...

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.
