The Latest Breaking News from Solar System

The long-term stability of the Solar System has been the subject of scientific investigation for centuries.

We can model the motions of planets in the Solar System quite accurately using Newton’s laws of physics. But in the early 1970s, scientists noticed that this didn’t work for disc galaxies – stars at their outer edges, far from the gravitational force of all the matter at their centre…

New evidence from the Juno probe shows Jupiter ingesting large quantities of planetesimals, which could explain its unusual core.

Explore the eight (or nine) planets of the solar system in order from nearest to the sun and discover the many wonders of our solar system along the way.

Nasa has recently announced US$600,000 (£495,000) in funding for a study into the feasibility of sending swarms of miniature swimming robots (known as independent micro-swimmers) to explore oceans beneath the icy shells of our Solar System’s many “ocean worlds”. But don’t imagine metal humanoids swimming frog-like underwater. They will probably…

Webb's science mission starts close to home with the largest Solar System planet and its stunning moons, some of which could hold alien life.

With NASA announcing an asteroid is on a possible collision course with Earth 23 years from now, 360info looks at the planet's early warning systems.

NASA's mission to a planet's former core will not launch this year, delivering a delay in both launch date and prolonging the eventual arrival date.

Japanese researchers recently announced that Ryugu carries strains of no less than 20 different amino acids — the building blocks of life itself!

A new study from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has found that ammonia in the clouds of Venus could neutralise the sulphuric acid and make the planet "more habitable"
