Solar system
Elusive planet Mercury will be making appearances this October.
This Watch Puts the Solar System in Your Wrist
Scientists are still puzzled about the mysterious nature of the centaurs or the sub-planetary bodies that are orbiting the Sun between planets Jupiter and Neptune.
NASA announced that it will be participating in the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo space mission that will be sending two spacecraft to study Mercury.
New research into the weather patterns of Uranus and Neptune indicates that their ferocious winds exist in a thin, separate layer from the rest of the ice giants. The findings suggest that giant planets may mostly be static on the inside, veiled by a layer of chaos.
A new fine-toothed examination of NASA's Cassini spacecraft's observations of Saturn has revealed that its breathtaking rings are "vintage goods" stemming from our solar system's birth, and are actually the origins of one of Saturn's moons.
For a while, it looked like Voyager 1 might have hit another milestone in space exploration - interstellar space - but a revised outlook states there's still some ways to go. The probe, launched by NASA back in 1977, is indeed still in our solar system, NASA has stated.
As the Curiosity rover continues its historic mission on Mars's surface and talks of a manned mission to the red planet circulate among astronomers, a group of researchers have been quietly busying themselves designing a unique robot called a "hedgehog" that will explore the Martian moon Phobos.
A mystical ribbon of particles surrounds the region of space between our solar system and interstellar space. Known as the edge of the heliosphere, it has baffled scientists as to what the nature and cause of such a cosmic phenomenon could be. A newly proposed "retention model" suggests that the ribbon is the result of charged particles escaping as neutral atoms.
One of the great phenomenons of the universe, the birth of a star, has been caught in action by scientists-right when it is in the process of creating its own solar system.
Scientists have spotted a solar system forming with a star that could end up similar to our own just a short 450 light-years away.
Turns out that being close to a star can't stop a planet from harboring ice and organic material.
Scientists got a better look at one of the dwarf planets orbiting our sun, and were surprised at what they found.
Scientists have discovered a relatively close planet that could harbor the conditions needed for liquid water, and possibly life.
By looking at some primitive meteorites, scientists were able to discover that our solar system isn't as unique as we had previously thought.
