The planets orbit in a flat plane but our solar system is more than just a disc. This video reveals the 3D bubble we travel through, exploring the Oort Cloud, a spherical shell of icy bodies, and the ...

NASA's DART mission didn’t just change the orbit of Dimorphos, the asteroid it hit. It changed the orbit of the larger ...

New observations have ruled out the chances of an asteroid hitting the moon in 2032, according to scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope.

Scientists detect alcohol on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS. The strange discovery could reveal secrets about alien solar systems and cosmic chemistry.

Learn how ALMA observations revealed unusually high levels of methanol in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS and what the molecule’s chemistry may reveal about how icy bodies form around other stars.

Astronomers have discovered thousands of planets beyond our solar system, but finding them is incredibly difficult. Unlike stars, planets don’t shine on their own, making them almost invisible across ...

Analysis of the tail of 3I/Atlas reveals that it contains an anomalous proportion of methanol, a class of alcohol used in fuels.

In 2022, a NASA spacecraft intentionally barreled into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos during a planetary defense test. New observations show how it went.

Studying the 2022 collision's effects can help scientists protect the Earth from celestial objects that might head toward us ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo challenges a long-standing assumption about Earth's most extreme ice ages. Using numerical ...
