A new study from researchers at the Southwest Research Institute has unearthed a fascinating discovery about Arrokoth, a trans-Neptunian object made famous by the New Horizons probe on New Year’s Day ...

Researchers have discovered that a two-step formation process of the early Solar System can explain the chronology and split in volatile and isotope content of the inner and outer Solar System. An ...

Using a limited set of mathematical equations, a mathematical sciences professor said he has confirmed a 224-year-old math conjecture about the origins of our solar system, providing insights about ...

Table 1 Pb–Pb isotope data and Canyon Diablo Troilite (CDT) model ages of the last leachates (L 7) and corresponding residues of the three interior fractions (no.s 1–3) from the 2364-B1 CAI. Figure 2: ...

When most of us learn about the solar system, it seems like a pretty well-ordered place. Our Sun formed first, about five billion years ago, and the planets appeared a little later. As a very general ...

(Image: The Wolf-Rayet star WR 124 in the constellation Sagittarius, imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.) The prevailing theory of the formation of the solar system is that a large, nearby supernova ...

A view of HOPS-315, a baby star some 1,400 light-years from Earth where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. Combined with data from the James Webb Space ...

There are various theories about how the solar system formed, but scientists haven't been able to agree on a single model that explains all the quirks of our corner of space as it exists today. Now, ...
