Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation ...

The solar system drifts inside an immense, low-density cavity known as the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This region, spanning at least 1,000 light-years, radiates X-rays due to its searing million-degree ...

The SPHEREx telescope will create the most colorful map of the cosmos, while the four satellites of the PUNCH mission track ...

The solar system moved through a star-forming area near Orion. This event might have increased interstellar dust around Earth ...

The entire solar system, ours at least, sits inside a pocket of low density called the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This cavity in space is 1,000 light-years across, at least, and tips the thermometer at ...

The Oort cloud is a shell of icy objects that forms the very outskirts of our Solar System. Recently, a group of researchers discovered that the inner portion of the Oort cloud likely has spiral ...

The solar system is made up of the Sun (our nearest star) and the objects that orbit around it, including planets, asteroids and comets. Planets orbit the Sun in roughly circular paths ...

The cameras are equipped with polarizing filters, similar to polarized sunglasses, that enable them to make maps of features in the corona and across the solar system. Together, the four ...

Ryugu, a 900-meter diameter asteroid in the Apollo belt, has recently proven useful in our search for signs of life's precursors elsewhere in our solar system. A team of researchers at Kyoto ...

The team's research indicates the solar system's passage through the Orion region occurred between approximately 18.2 and 11.5 million years ago, with the most likely time between 14.8 and 12.4 ...

Google Maps lets you explore space without having ... through space rather than just zooming in and zooming out of the solar system. Aside from planets, users can also roam about the International ...
