The discoveries are helping them better classify different TNOs and understand the complex chemical reactions in space that may relate to the formation of our solar system and the origin of life.

Our solar system consists of four small, rocky, inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and four large, gaseous, outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune).

"We designed a new language to talk about these new systems," Zardini says. This new diagram-based "language" is heavily based on something called category theory, he explains. It all has to do with ...

In late 2017, a mysterious object tore through our Solar System at breakneck speed. Astronomers scrambled to observe the fast moving body using the world's most powerful telescopes. It was found to be ...

Hints of molecules known to be produced by marine organisms have been detected on an exoplanet, providing "the strongest evidence yet" of life outside the Solar System, researchers have said, ...

PARIS, France (AFP) — Astronomers announced Thursday that they had detected the most promising “hints” of potential life on a planet beyond our solar system, though other scientists ...

Scientists have found what they are calling the "strongest sign yet" of possible life beyond our solar system on a planet called K2-18 B.

his solar contractor swung into action. His system — including 19 panels and a battery backup — went up this week, and Summers considers himself lucky. “I’m glad to have done it when I did,” said ...

LONDON — Astronomers have found possible chemical signs of life on a distant planet outside our solar system, though they caution more work is needed to confirm their findings. The research ...
