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

Using a NASA supercomputer to run models, researchers led by SwRI astronomer David Nesvorny now believe that the Inner Oort cloud looks like a spiral disk, around 0.24 light-years across, with two ...

The best opportunity to potentially see all seven planets is coming up on Feb. 28 around 6:10 p.m. ET, according to Shanahan.

For a few evenings around 28 February, every planet in the solar system will be visible in the night sky, thanks to a rare ...

For the first time, astronomers have imaged dozens of belts around nearby stars where comets and tiny pebbles within them are orbiting.

Simulations showed that over 10 lakh macroscopic objects, each wider than 100 metres were moving surreptitiously outside our ...

This is the first time that this has been possible on a planet outside of the Solar System. The atmosphere of Tylos is divided into three layers, with iron winds at the bottom, followed by a very ...
