The most unsettling space images are not of black holes or distant galaxies, but of stars that look eerily like our own Sun in its final moments. Astronomers can now map, almost step by step, how our ...

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system. The investigation has ...

NASA’s newly launched IMAP mission is set to tell us more about the boundary between our Solar System and interstellar space ...

When my colleagues and I send them out to explore our solar system, it's important for us to understand the 3D map of our ...

NPR's Ari Shapiro talks with astronomer David Jewitt about what we can learn from the third interstellar object to have entered our solar system, a comet-like object known as 3I/ATLAS. A remarkable ...

Scientists have combined satellite data with the physics of ice flow analysis to create a map of Antarctica's hidden ...

Earlier this summer, astronomers discovered something strange whizzing past Jupiter: an interstellar object. Scientists named it 3I/ATLAS. It’s only the third interstellar object ever observed, and it ...
