In a study published in October 2025 in the Astrophysical Journal, we modeled one of the sources of these geomagnetic storms: ...

Scientists have revised the timeline for the approach of the rogue star Gliese 710, which is now expected to enter the solar ...

A study published in the journal Nature Astronomy challenges traditional explanations about the origin of the innermost planet in the Solar System and proposes a more likely scenario. The collision ...

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 more ...

A new analysis estimates that the asteroid belt is steadily losing mass each year, and may not be as permanent a feature of the solar system as we thought. The beads appear above a swirling hexagonal ...

Those space tornadoes can still harm Earth’s electrical grids and digital systems. Recently, researchers including UM climate ...

These probes would be stationed at Lagrange Point 1 (L1), a stable orbital location between the Earth and the sun. The scientists claim that L1’s proximity to the sun would enable a 40 percent speed ...
