Saturn’s rings, imaged here by NASA’s Cassini orbiter, are one of the solar system’s most reliably spectacular sights. But ...

Scientists have captured faint magnetic signatures resulting from the tidal movement of seawater across the planet — and they might have to wait until 2030 to get another shot at it.

A new study suggests that a close encounter with a massive interstellar object, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of the four outer planets in our ...

The research, yet to be peer-reviewed, sheds light on what could have changed the orbits of several planets in the solar system. SpaceX’s Transporter 12 mission, launched from Vandenberg Space ...

A new study suggests that a planet-sized object may have passed through the solar system billions of years ago. Its journey could have permanently altered the orbits of the outer planets.

The previous hypotheses and research focused on how interactions between these planets reshaped their orbits, Malhotra said that they are not consistent "with certain important details of the ...

A pair of NASA spacecraft know as the Escape and Plasma Acceleration and Dynamics Explorers (ESCAPADE) to be launched to Mars ...

Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in different orbits in three-dimensional space. Scientists have claimed that an interstellar visitor, much larger than any celestial body in our solar ...

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 ...

Scientists suggested the enormous object disrupted the orbits of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, which would explain the peculiarities of these four planets' paths. Prevailing solar ...
