Jupiter's rapid early growth dramatically reshaped our solar system, scientists now reveal. Its immense gravity acted as a ...

Webb just spotted a carbon-rich moon factory 625 light-years away, revealing how moons like ours may have first taken shape.

Jupiter was shaping Earth's fate before our planet even existed, carving gaps in the early solar system that kept its ...

The comet is on what’s known as a hyperbolic trajectory, which means that it doesn’t follow an orbital path around the sun.

Material around Chiron, a small icy world in the far reaches of the solar system, may be taking shape into a ring system of ...

What's special about Chiron's rings is that they're still forming; this marks the first time astronomers have ever seen a ...

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner solar system. New research from Rice University reveals that Jupiter played a ...

Ryugu’s samples reveal that water activity on asteroids lasted far longer than scientists thought, possibly reshaping ...

When you look at the solar system, you might notice that the planets' orbits are tilted, and oddities in the protoplanetary disk might be to blame.

A new study suggests yet another theory for a possible extra planet in our solar system, likely of a size between Mercury and ...

Many scientists call Jupiter the architect of the solar system because its immense gravity influenced the orbits of other planets and carved up the gas and dust from which they all emerged. This ...
