Researchers have been focusing on the study of our solar system for centuries, looking at the physics, dynamics, as well as the composition of solar system bodies. Our solar system – which includes ...

James O'Donoghue went viral for the first time in December 2018. He was a planetary scientist for NASA at the time, but the federal government had temporarily shut down due to budget disputes in ...

At the ragged frontier where the Sun’s influence gives way to the galaxy, a decades‑old spacecraft has stumbled into a ...

Groundbreaking advances in solar and space physics have provided key insights into the inner workings of the heliosphere, the vast protective bubble formed by the solar wind that extends from the Sun ...

We should start with some data. I can do a screen capture of the loading screen and then use my favorite video analysis program (Tracker Video Analysis) to get position and time data. Of course, the ...

As one of five panels that will provide input to the steering committee of the Decadal Survey for Solar and Space Physics (Heliophysics) 2024-2033; the Panel on the Physics of Magnetospheres is tasked ...

Stellar rings: an infrared image of rings around a star that was taken by ALMA. (Courtesy: ALMA/ESO/NAOJ/NRAO) The clear divide between the inner and outer solar system is the legacy of a ring ...

Black holes about the size of a hydrogen atom could be careening through the solar system unnoticed. But their days of stealth may be numbered. Two teams of researchers propose methods to search for ...

Far from the Sun, Uranus sits tipped on its side, carrying a magnetic system unlike any other planet’s. Its equator tilts about 97.
