The Oort cloud is a shell of icy objects that forms the very outskirts of our Solar System. Recently, a group of researchers discovered that the inner portion of the Oort cloud likely has spiral ...

PUNCH isn't the only spacecraft studying the solar corona and the transition into the solar wind. NASA's Parker Solar Probe ...

Well, the verdict is in. The Moon is not made of green cheese after all.

The cloud is believed to appear as a shell of planetesimals — a small celestial body or planet — that surrounds the solar system. The identity of this presumed cloud is not fully known, but scientists ...

NASA’s most powerful supercomputer has picked up something unexpected at the edge of the solar system. A strange pattern has ...

Its existence is inferred from the long-period comets that occasionally streak into the inner solar system, their orbits suggesting they were nudged from this distant reservoir. But the cloud’s ...

The secrets of the solar wind will soon come under renewed scrutiny thanks to the launch of an upcoming NASA mission that will gaze at the sun and the inner solar system. The mission, called PUNCH ...

The inner Oort cloud, between 1,000 and 10,000 AU from the sun, displays a spiral formation with arms that extend 15,000 AU.

This is the first time that a solar mission has been specifically designed to make use of the polarisation of light to ...

Astronomers are excited to be poring over the first ever detailed geological map of the moon’s south polar region, where ...

New research suggests the Oort cloud, a shell of icy objects at the edge of our solar system, may feature spiral arms similar to the Milky Way, revealing a complex cosmic structure beyond Pluto.
