A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal has traced six chemically distinct families of the Solar System's oldest meteorites to a single ring-shaped dust trap just beyond Jupiter's orbit — ...
A computer visualization maps small bodies in the solar system that are expected to be observed by the Rubin Observatory during the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Red indicates near-Earth ...

A research team led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong-Zhong Qian uses new models and evidence from meteorites to show that a low-mass supernova triggered the ...
A group of astronomers from across the globe, including a team from the University of Washington and led by Queen's University Belfast, have revealed new research showing that millions of new solar ...
The system has provided a rich source of information on planet formation and evolution in a young solar system. Researchers used a variety of tools to compile radial velocity and transit timing ...
A team combined compositional data of primitive bodies like Kuiper Belt objects, asteroids and comets with new solar data sets to develop a revised solar composition that potentially reconciles ...
Scientists from MIT and their colleagues have estimated the lifetime of the solar nebula — a key stage during which much of the solar system evolution took shape. This new estimate suggests that the ...
