Billions of years ago, in the frozen edges of the solar system, a violent impact shaped one of space’s oddest pairs. Instead of a typical planet-moon setup, Pluto and Charon became a binary system.

Kyoto-based Laplace System Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Masayuki Horii) has announced the release of the latest international version of its photovoltaic system simulation software, Solar Pro 5.0.

A research team led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong-Zhong Qian uses new models and evidence from meteorites to show that a low-mass supernova triggered the ...

A researcher has used advanced models that indicate that the formation of Pluto and Charon may parallel that of the Earth-Moon system. Both systems include a moon that is a large fraction of the size ...

A group of astronomers from across the globe, including a team from the University of Washington and led by Queen’s University Belfast, have revealed new research showing that millions of new solar ...

A group of astronomers from across the globe have revealed new research showing that millions of new solar system objects will be detected by a brand-new facility, which is expected to come online ...

Originally launched in 1997, Solar Pro is a high-precision software tool for designing, analyzing, and evaluating the performance and economic feasibility of photovoltaic systems. With over 3,700 ...

Scientists from MIT and their colleagues have estimated the lifetime of the solar nebula — a key stage during which much of the solar system evolution took shape. This new estimate suggests that the ...

When scientists want to understand the earliest history of our Solar System, they’ve typically turned to ancient meteorites. These celestial objects that come to Earth are remnants of the building ...
