Mar. 11, 2025 — A new study presents a compelling new model for the formation of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes -- planets that are 1 to 4 times the size of Earth and among the most common in ...

Tiny grains from a distant asteroid are offering new insights into the magnetic forces that shaped the outer regions of the solar system over 4.6 billion years ago. The team analyzed Ryugu’s particles ...

this mega-asteroid broke apart in the Asteroid Belt, producing a chunk of rock that us ape-like inhabitants on the Solar System’s third planet would one day call “Bennu.” Eventually ...

Recently, researchers at Kyoto University made a groundbreaking discovery in samples from asteroid Ryugu, a 900-meter diameter asteroid in the Apollo belt ... after the solar system's formation.

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 ...

NASA revealed a car-sized asteroid, known as "2025 DQ", is hurtling past Earth today at approximately 15,000 miles per hour. This rock, estimated to be just under four metres wide, is projected to ...

Most solar companies set the price according to the solar system's wattage. A solar installation's “cost per watt” is a little like the “price per square foot” when you buy a house.

Recently, researchers at Kyoto University made a groundbreaking discovery in samples from asteroid Ryugu, a 900-meter diameter asteroid in the Apollo belt. The team found evidence of salt minerals ...

in the outer reaches of our solar system. Known as a C-type asteroid, this carbon-rich space rock likely came from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The discovery that this asteroid type was ...
