Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Astronomers studying a rare visitor from another star system have discovered something unexpected. The interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS appears to contain unusually large amounts of alcohol. While ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

An artist's impression shows the "inside out" planetary system around the star LHS 1903. - ESA An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, ...

About 4.6 billion years ago, our corner of space was basically just a boring cloud of gas and dust floating around, and then something amazing happened that turned this mess into the planets, moons, ...

Discover the rare interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, captured by a Jupiter-bound spacecraft. Learn how this visitor from outside ...

About 4.6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity. The Sun, planets, and eventually Earth formed out of the cloud. But when did ...
