Scientists say a nearby red dwarf star hosts a planetary lineup that looks like a mirror image of our own solar system, with rocky worlds bookending a pair of gas-rich planets. Around the star LHS ...

Astronomers have found a compact solar system whose planets line up in a way that, according to current models, should not be possible. Around the small star LHS 1903, a dense rocky world orbits on ...

In South Africa, many low-income families who’ve never had electricity can’t afford solar power. Solar mini-grids could help.

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

It was April 2006, and the mood was celebratory at Napa Valley College. A crowd had assembled to toast the school’s new solar field — 5,600 photovoltaic panels arranged in neat rows across 5 acres of ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

A recent report details a waterless solar cleaning system design developed to address the challenge of dust accumulation on solar panels in arid regions; it is one of multiple waterless cleaning ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has traveled farther than any spacecraft in human history. After more than four decades of silent endurance through space, it now sails beyond the orbit of the outer ...
