Active small bodies—including comets, active asteroids, icy minor planets, and transitional objects—occupy a unique position in planetary science. As ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

For the first time, scientists have observed planets forming around a star other than our sun. Researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA to observe planet-building material forming near ...

A group of astronomers has found a solar system 116 light-years from Earth that seems to challenge current theories about how ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...
