A new 3D map of Uranus is shedding light on one of the solar system's most mysterious planets.

THE Moon’s “skin” is cracking as Earth’s lunar pal SHRINKS, scientists say. Rather than being a dead rock whizzing around Earth, our neighbouring moon is still active – ...

"Uranus's magnetosphere is one of the strangest in the solar system," Paola Tiranti, a researcher at Northumbria University in the U.K., said in a statement. "It's tilted and offset from the planet's ...

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus's upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the ...

NASA describes deep hydrogen compression that eventually forms conductive metallic liquid, making Jupiter feel less like Earth and more like a continuous gradient of states. That alone breaks the old ...

Explore the story of our solar system’s formation, tracing how a vast cloud of gas and dust collapsed under gravity, collisions, and angular momentum to create a thin, spinning protolanetary disc.

General relativity helps explain the lack of planets around tight binary stars by driving orbital resonances that eject or destroy close-in worlds. This process naturally creates a “desert” of ...

41P/Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak is now known to be in the Jupiter family of comets, going from a little inside Jupiter's orbit to almost as far as Earth on its 5.4-year orbit. It is notable for its large ...

First its rotation slowed between March and May 2017, taking 46 hours to complete a spin where it had once taken only 20 hours. This occurred as the comet neared its closest point to the sun, roughly ...

As next-generation telescopes map this outer frontier, astronomers are bracing for discoveries that could reveal hidden planets, strange structures, and clues to the solar system’s chaotic youth.

With the ability to generate thousands of times the G-force of Earth and to handle as much as 1,900 tons of mass combined ...
