The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner ...

Researchers rarely get a glimpse of an interstellar object up close like 3I-ATLAS, so they have jumped on the opportunity to learn about its composition, which can reveal how planet systems are made.

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

About 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity. The Sun, planets, and eventually Earth formed out of the cloud. But when did ...

The comet could be older than our solar system. The comet is also distinct because nickel vapor was detected in the gas ...

The James Webb Telescope captures the beginning of planetary formation around the young star HOPS-315 for the first time.

Astronomers have identified 3I/ATLAS, an ancient, ice-rich interstellar comet potentially older than our solar system.

Astronomers found an interstellar "tunnel" - a cosmic channel that connects our solar system to distant stars, according to a ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Interstellar comets like 3I/ATLAS could serve as seeds for giant planet formation, potentially explaining how massive planets form around distant stars, according to BBC and Pfalzner’s research.

A new planetary system is forming around the young star HOPS-315. Scientists observed the earliest stages of planet formation around another star. The process involves the cooling and solidifying of ...

A rare interstellar visitor, comet 3I/ATLAS, is currently traversing our solar system, offering scientists a unique chance to ...
