New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

Astronomers measure the speed at which the solar system is hurtling through space by mapping surrounding galaxies and ...

Bucknell University Professor Katelyn Allers, physics & astronomy, is publishing the first measurement of atmospheric wind speed outside the solar system using a new technique she developed. Her study ...

Space is very, very cold. The baseline temperature of outer space is 2.7 kelvins — minus 454.81 degrees Fahrenheit, or minus 270.45 degrees Celsius — meaning it is barely above absolute zero, the ...

Theia, the world that helped form the Moon, came from the Solar System. Chemical clues in Earth and Moon rocks reveal this close origin.

When we think of Earth and its neighboring planets orbiting around our common host star, we picture the center of the Solar System as smack in the middle of the Sun. However, that's not entirely true, ...

Scientists at Osaka University have developed a robotic system that uses machine learning to automate the assessments of novel solar cells. The researchers described their findings in “Exploration of ...
