A view of HOPS-315, a baby star some 1,400 light-years from Earth where astronomers have observed evidence for the earliest stages of planet formation. Combined with data from the James Webb Space ...

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 ...

For decades it was thought that water was prevalent in the outer reaches of the Solar System early in its history, with comets and asteroids delivering moisture to Earth and the inner planets during ...

New work offers fresh evidence supporting the supernova shock wave theory of our solar system’s origin. According to one longstanding theory, our Solar System’s formation was triggered by a shock wave ...

Silicon monoxide gas detected by JWST signals the sublimation and recondensation of silicate dust into crystalline minerals. These minerals combine into pebbles, the earliest building blocks of ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have, for the first time, observed the formation of a new solar system. Using a combination of data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ...

The evolution of our solar system was discerned from various factors, tracing them back to the point of origin. However, a groundbreaking observation might topple the existing models of how the ...
