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

As the Sun and its planets orbit the center of the galaxy, we carve out a path that scientists have previously calculated ...

The team, led by astrophysicist Lukas Böhme at Bielefeld University, found that the universe is, in fact, moving more than three times faster than current models predict. The team of scientists ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed ...

A large radio galaxy study finds our solar system moves faster than theory predicts, raising new questions about how matter ...

Spiral Galaxy from Kirkland et al. CREDIT Chris Kirkland and colleagues. A new study of zircon crystals from two of Earth’s oldest continents indicates that the formation of Earth’s continental crust ...

A newly discovered cluster of objects called the “inner kernel” of the Kuiper belt could teach us about the early history of ...

All of the objects in our solar system are acted upon by forces. Forces are pushes or pulls. Every force has both a strength and a direction. Applying a force on something–like pushing a toy car–can ...

The Gaia space telescope has measured the acceleration of the Solar System when it orbits the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The Solar System motion relative to the stars agrees with the results by ...

Boulder, Colo., USA: A new study of zircon crystals from two of Earth’s oldest continents indicates that the formation of Earth’s continental crust goes through cycles, with periods of increased crust ...
