For over a century, researchers have been puzzled by strange gravitational forces seemingly pulling on the orbits of Neptune and Uranus in the distant reaches of our solar system. While some have ...

NASA's New Horizons mission, which encountered Pluto in 2015 is now riding through the deepest depths of the Kuiper Belt, is encountering a cosmic dust storm that hints there may be more going on in ...

Solar system is a collection of various celestial bodies that are held together by the gravitational pull of the sun. Our ...

Astronomers have identified an icy, red, planet-like object orbiting the sun 8 billion miles away, a distance that is nearly three times as far as Pluto and stretches the limits of the solar system ...

Elon Musk tweeted that SpaceX Starship will travel across the solar system and to the cloud of objects around us. The cloud of objects around us are either referring to the Kuiper Belt (35-80AU and ...

The orbits of many periodic comets are sculpted by the effects of the larger planets. Jupiter has a group, as does Saturn, Neptune and Uranus also to a lesser extent. Asteroids also fit into these ...

A brand-new group of frozen objects, orbiting the sun out beyond the distant Kuiper Belt, has been spotted by the Subaru telescope, working with NASA's New Horizons mission to find new targets for the ...

The Solar system is bigger than NASA thought. There are a lot of huge objects at the edge of the solar system that we have not seen but can indirectly estimate. When astronomers say Kuiper Belt Object ...

The discovery of the Kuiper Belt fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the solar system's architecture and population, revealing a far larger and more complex system than previously imagined.

The James Webb Space Telescope just made its second breakthrough observation in as many weeks. Researchers have used the observatory's near-infrared camera to detect the first known instance of water ...
