Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation ...

The star-forming regions that surround our solar system have been mapped for the first time. These regions appear to lie on a deformed surface 1000 light years across, called the Local Bubble.

The Local Bubble is a region of surprisingly low-density gas that surrounds our solar system and other nearby regions of our galaxy — and it has a violent history.

Scientists Make Best-Yet Map of Solar System’s Interstellar Boundaries Researchers have gained a new view of the journey ahead for the twin Voyager spacecraft and other probes bound on one-way ...

MIT researchers have developed a new technique that can be used to accurately predict the annual yield of a photovoltaic solar array located anywhere on the planet, taking into account local ...

The map, entitled "Surface Area" on Munroe's site xkcd.com, is a wonderful visualization of the relative sizes of all the major solid bodies in the solar system presented as a familiar world map.

More than 400 years after its discovery by astronomer Galileo Galilei, the largest moon in the solar system — Jupiter’s moon Ganymede — has finally claimed a spot on the map.

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.

Understanding the solar system's local bubble The eROSITA telescope, the primary instrument of the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) mission launched in 2019, is the ideal instrument to tackle this ...
