Voyager 1 and 2 traveled billions of miles to reach the heliopause, showing how the Sun's magnetic influence marks the boundary of our solar system.

Before the sun fully formed, tiny bits of rock were already recording the magnetic forces present in the very early solar ...

Our solar system is a smashing success. A new study suggests that from its earliest period — even before the last of its nebular gas had been consumed — Earth’s solar system and its planets looked ...

This video depicts a simulation of millions of small solar system objects that astronomers said the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will discover in the next 10 years. Video via Jake Andrew Kurlander/ ...

New studies offer a clearer picture of how the outer solar system formed and evolved based on analyses of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and centaurs. The findings reveal the distribution of ices in ...
