I came across an interactive NASA tool called Solar System Simulator. On it, you can view objects in our solar system from ...
New paper points to the Alpha Centauri triple star system as likely potential source of millions of interstellar asteroids and comets.
Could our solar system have been temporarily exposed to an enhanced flux of cosmic-rays at some point in the ancient past?
New simulations reveal that around 1 million "macroscopic" objects from our closest stellar neighbors, the Alpha Centauri ...
In these cases, too, the flybys that had previously altered the giant planets' orbits to their present states recreated the solar system's current appearance. The simulation that produced the most ...
A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...
Jan. 15, 2025 — New observational data and simulation models have confirmed a new type of planet unlike anything found in the Solar System. This provides another piece of the puzzle to ...
"Our Sun (Sol) is marked by a black hexagon, and its orbital path is indicated by a grey solid line (top row only). Alpha Centauri's location and path are shown by a yellow star and a solid blue line ...
An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.
