Astronomers measure the speed at which the solar system is hurtling through space by mapping surrounding galaxies and ...

According to the standard model of cosmology, the universe should be the same everywhere and look the same in every direction. A little caveat on this last part is that it’s the same in every ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

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 ...

As radio maps of distant galaxies came into focus, researchers saw a pattern they did not expect. Their new analysis now suggests the solar system may be racing through space far faster than long ...

The workings of our solar system are roughly the same now as they have been for millions of years. Moons circle their planets, the planets circle the sun, the sun’s magnetic fields and sunspots wax ...

A study of the Beta Pictoris Moving Group (BPMG), a cluster of relatively young stars, suggests a high prevalence (20 out of 30 surveyed) of stars possessing Jupiter-mass planets in long-period orbits ...

Have you ever wondered just how big space really is? It’s huge. In fact, it’s astronomical! The Colorado Scale Model Solar System depicts the Sun, the planets, and the distances between them all on ...

Bielefeld scientist Lukas Böhme, lead author of the study, in front of the Lovell Telescope at the Jodrell Bank Radio Observatory in England. How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving ...
