Solar storms that fling magnetism across the solar system can knock out satellites, power grids, communication and navigation systems, and endanger astronauts in space. Scientists can observe these ...

At these distances, the satellites remain within Earth’s protective magnetic shield and can reliably measure the planet’s ...

The astronomers observed hot minerals just beginning to solidify – the first specks of planet-forming material, the ...

But researchers found that the space hurricane formed under a northward-aligned IMF, which typically "closes the door" to geomagnetic activity. As a result, these storms often go unnoticed by standard ...

For the first time, astronomers spot the beginning of a solar system The discovery is like finding a solar system's 'baby picture.' Laura Baisas Jul 16, 2025 11:00 AM EDT ...

“What we’ve been trying to do is find a baby version of our Solar System somewhere else,” Merel van ’t Hoff, an astronomer at ...

Weighing in at 0.6 solar mass, HOPS-315 should someday grow to become a star much like our own sun; this makes it a promising stand-in for studying the first stages of our solar system’s history. For ...

Peering through a cosmic keyhole at distant baby star, astronomers may have opened a new window on the deep past of our own solar system. Using combined observations from the James Webb Space ...

The superclouds probably produce star-forming clouds of gas, since most nearby stellar nurseries are located within the giants.

A quantum network of distant clocks The entangled clocks can test how quantum theory behaves in the presence of curved space-time as predicted by Einstein, or whether our current theories break down.

The risk of collisions, passing stars or supernovas coming too close to the solar system and then tearing apart its celestial bodies and space rocks will also be magnified.

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have, for the first time, observed the formation of a new solar system.
