Learn how a magnetic field may have helped shape the Solar System, embedding traces of ancient magnetism within a meteorite ...

Over the past three decades, computer models of planetary system formation have gone from fairly crude representations to ...

A planet so distant that its starlight began traveling toward Earth around the Middle Ages has given one University of Cincinnati graduate student the kind of first look astronomers wait years for.

These images, taken with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) shows a planetary system being born around the young star WISPIT 2. The star is surrounded by a disc of gas and ...

Tiny grains from asteroid Ryugu are revealing clues to the magnetic forces that shaped the far reaches of the solar system over 4.6 billion years ago. The findings suggest the distal solar system ...

Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was little more than a giant ball of gas and dust. Over the next few million ...

In this study, NRM measurements suggest that the observed characteristics of Ryugu particles is a chemical remanent magnetization, likely acquired during growth of framboidal magnetite that occurred ...
