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 ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

The United States’ solar market continues its rapid expansion, with 2024 marking another year of significant growth. Nearly 50 GW of solar capacity was installed — a 21% increase from the previous ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials ...

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 ...

Planetary scientists have recently drawn a connection between the birth of Jupiter and the formation zone of Earth, suggesting a shared origin in the early solar system. This revelation not only ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...

Might the first moments of planet formation be more understandable than ever before? Fresh observations suggest that the creation of worlds such as our own is perhaps happening right in front of us, ...

Illustration comparing the planets of the Solar System and the Sun on the same scale. The planets are shown to scale relative to each other but their distances are not. From left to right the bodies ...

For a long time, engineers have contented themselves with setting strict degradation and unavailability numbers, often guided by an independent engineer’s recommendation, and handed those assumptions ...

There’s a bit of a paradox about our galaxy: it’s both jam-packed with stars and cavernously empty. The Milky Way is crowded in the sense that it holds hundreds of billions of stars, as well as ...
