Looking at the Solar System, Jupiter and Uranus both have plenty of irregular moons. In supercomputer simulations, the ...

University of Warwick astronomers have found a new way to estimate the masses of planets hidden inside the dusty disks surrounding young stars.

A team of astronomers, led by University of Warwick in collaboration with researchers at MIT and McMaster, have developed a ...

Solar system formation got its most precise explanation yet: a new Max Planck study traces all six carbonaceous chondrite ...

A team of researchers has pinpointed a key region in the early Solar System where the building blocks of planets, called ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding ...

Abstract: This paper proposes the graded bandgap absorber material, Cu/sub 1-x/Ag/sub x/In/sub 1-y-z/Ga/sub y/Al/sub z/Se/sub 2(1-u$/ -/sub w/)S/sub 2u/Te/sub 2w/ (CIS*) multinary system, to improve ...

Astronomers say a newly discovered solar system about 116 light years from Earth is challenging long held ideas about how planets form. According to CNN, researchers using telescopes from NASA and the ...

Earth and Mars were formed from material that largely originated in the inner solar system; only a few percent of the building blocks of these two planets originated beyond Jupiter's orbit. A group of ...

This is HOPS-315, a baby star where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. The image was taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in ...
