Early in our Solar System’s history, bits of icy debris were scattered and then gradually coaxed into a spiral alignment in ...

"We were quite surprised," Dones continued. "Spirals are seen in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars and galaxies. The ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has revealed an unexpected spiral structure within the inner Oort cloud, challenging long-held beliefs about our solar system's outer ...

A giant wave of undulating gas and dust appears, per new research, to have engulfed our Solar System millions of years ago.

At an epic timescale "comparable to the age of the solar system," which ... That suggests that the spiral structure has been here almost since our system's beginning, retaining its shape all ...

Most of the long-period comets in the Solar System come from the outer Oort Cloud. The inner region is much more stable. It's ...

As a result, the borders of our Solar System remain a bit of a mystery to ... spiral arms that make the overall structure appear almost like a galaxy. Critically, we are talking about the inner ...

Astronomers have discovered that the Solar System traversed the Orion star-forming complex, a component of the Radcliffe Wave galactic structure, approximately 14 million years ago. This journey ...

the researchers behind the new study used information from the orbits of comets and gravitational forces from within and beyond our solar system to build a model of the Oort cloud's structure.

The team's research indicates the solar system's passage through the Orion region occurred between approximately 18.2 and 11.5 million years ago, with the most likely time between 14.8 and 12.4 ...

An off-grid solar system is a self-sustaining power setup that operates independently from the national electricity grid.

The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.
