Damanveer Singh Grewal suggests that planetesimals in the early solar system emerged from a succession of high-energy ...

A new peer-reviewed study finds that early planet formations were assembled from fragments of earlier bodies within the Solar System.

About 4. 6 billion years ago, the Solar System formed from a cloud of dust and gas collapsing in on itself due to gravity.

Our solar system is a smashing success. A new study suggests that from its earliest period—even before the last of its nebular gas had been consumed—Earth's solar system and its planets looked more ...

New work from Carnegie’s Alan Boss and Sandra Keiser provides surprising new details about the trigger that may have started the earliest phases of planet formation in our solar system. It is ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Just as Earth orbits the sun, most planets discovered beyond our solar system orbit a host star.

Scientists have shown that Earth’s basic chemistry solidified within just three million years of the Solar System’s formation. Initially, the planet was barren and inhospitable, missing water and ...

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has caught the interest of astronomers and amateur enthusiasts alike as just the third object to enter our solar system.

Scientists from MIT and their colleagues have estimated the lifetime of the solar nebula — a key stage during which much of the solar system evolution took shape. This new estimate suggests that the ...

Astronomers have discovered a significant “growth spurt” in a rogue planet outside of our solar system. The free-floating planet is currently consuming gas and dust from its surroundings at a rate of ...
