LONDON (APTN/CBS Newspath/WKRC) - Scientists have discovered particles older than our solar system in a sample from the asteroid Bennu, brought back to Earth by NASA's OSIRIS-Rex spacecraft. The sample, collected in October 2020 and returned in September ...

The find represents the first clear detection of a baby planet taking shape within a disc of dust and gas with multiple rings. The ground-breaking discovery was made using European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

WISPIT 2b was an unexpected discovery made during a five-year research project carried out by an international team of astronomers at Leiden University, the University of Arizona. The find represents the first clear detection of a baby planet taking shape ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has traveled farther than any spacecraft in human history. After more than four decades of silent endurance through space, it now sails beyond the orbit of the outer planets of the solar system. Its mission has transcended ...

Space exploration consistently reveals phenomena that challenge our understanding of the cosmos, from the behavior of distant objects to the composition of alien worlds that defy terrestrial expectations. NASA’s missions have uncovered discoveries so ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be moving through the cosmos over three times faster than ...
