Water and water vapor in the primitive atmosphere could reveal a lot about the formation and development of planets.
A NASA-funded program is encouraging the public to become citizen scientists. In the program Backyard Worlds, anyone can help the experts locate undiscovered worlds.
NASA's Stratospheric Observation for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) will soon begin its 2017 observing campaign.
A team of scientists has come up with a new model of the origin of Saturn’s rings. The new theory, which is based on computer simulations, also explains why Saturn’s rings are different from those of Uranus.
Our universe is full of mysterious objects, and the most recent of these is an object in a weird orbit beyond Neptune. The retrograde trans-neptunian object (TNO) was named "Niku," which means "rebellious."
A new study suggests that Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, which was explored by the Rosetta spacecraft, is relatively a newcomer in the inner solar system.
An international team of astronomers has detected signs of possible site of an icy planet similar to Uranus and Neptune around a young star about 176 light-years away in the constellation Hydra.
A group of scientists discovered five Trojan asteroids sharing the same orbit as the planet Neptune.
There is a new planet detected near TW Hyrdae, a close star from us. And it is possible that we can now know how planets form.
There are unexpected compounds found--- or rather can be formed in Uranus an Neptune.
Scientists have discovered several objects in the outer solar system, which point to the possible existence of the hypothetical world Planet Nine.
An object found in the outskirts of the solar system has baffled scientists due to its “rebellious” nature. The object is called a trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that goes by the name of Niku, which has been orbiting around planet Neptune.
Astronomers discovered a new weird object with retrogade orbit ans spinning in an opposite direction beyond Neptune.
A mysterious object was discovered orbiting beyond Neptune; its orbit has an odd tilt and it spinning in reverse as compared to any other planets in the solar system.
