As the Sun and its planets orbit the center of the galaxy, we carve out a path that scientists have previously calculated should take a little less than a quarter of a billion years.But this new ...

The universe is supposed to look the same no matter where you stand. That idea, known as the cosmological principle, sits at the heart of modern astrophysics. It says matter spreads out evenly when ...

I/ATLAS moving faster than human-made spacecraft? The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS moves on a hyperbolic path and will reach ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be ...

Moving is never easy. The packing and unpacking, having to start fresh and make new friends, all this can be challenging. Let ...

Discovery: On July 2, 2025, astronomers confirmed Comet 3I/ATLAS, marking only the third interstellar object (ISO) ever detected passing through our Solar System, after 1I/ʻOumuamua (2017) and ...

SPACE (KXAN) — A star flying through the night sky may be the fastest-moving solar system in our galaxy. Possibly a planet a little larger than Neptune orbiting a small star, the system could be ...

While the Voyager spacecraft are constantly traveling out of the Solar System, sometimes they are getting closer to Earth.

In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal, a group of researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder ...

How fast and in what direction the solar system moves is a critical cosmology test. New research offers answers that challenge the standard model. (Nanowerk News) How fast and in which direction is ...
