She mapped our solar system's "alternate fate" had it housed an extra planet between Mars and Jupiter instead of the existing asteroid belt. They developed a 3D model that simulates how the solar ...

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.

Europe and Japan’s BepiColombo beamed back close-up images of the solar system’s innermost planet, flying through Mercury’s shadow to peer directly onto craters that are permanently hidden ...

Despite common assumptions, the disk of our Solar System is warped, and the planets travel around the Sun in slightly eccentric (or oblong) orbits. Scientists now think that a mysterious object ...

We can judge the value of any scientific endeavour based on how much of our knowledge it overturns or transforms.
