This region is part of a vast network of star clusters that spans nearly 9,000 light-years and is sculpted into a structure that astronomers have dubbed the Radcliffe Wave in honor of the Harvard ...

The stars as seen from Earth would have looked dimmer 14 million years ago, as the solar system was in the middle of passing ...

Millions of years ago, our Solar System sailed through the Orion Complex, part of the vast Radcliffe Wave structure. This ...

Using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope, Maconi and his team identified recently-formed stars and the gases surrounding them within the Radcliffe wave to see how the structure ...

As the solar system moved through this dust-rich region, Earth may have received an increased influx of interstellar particles.

A University of Vienna study suggests that the solar system's movement through the galaxy affected Earth's climate millions ...

The Radcliffe Wave is a vast, thin structure of interconnected star-forming regions, including the renowned Orion complex, which the Sun traversed, as established in this study.

Even though the Radcliffe Wave resides in our galactic backyard, at just 400 light-years away, astronomers just noticed it in 2020 thanks to the Gaia telescope's ability to pinpoint the distances ...

A giant wave of undulating gas and dust appears, per new research, to have engulfed our Solar System millions of years ago. As New Scientist reports, astrophysicists have discovered that the Radcliffe ...
