Scientists have proposed a high-risk mission to catch interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS by sending a probe on a daring dive toward the Sun to achieve record-breaking speeds.

A new study using radio telescopes found our Solar System is moving through space 3.7 times faster than predicted, challenging core principles of cosmology.

A rare interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, has puzzled scientists after it rapidly and unexpectedly brightened during its recent close pass of the Sun.

New research shows Jupiter's formation was crucial for Earth's existence, creating barriers that stopped planetary building blocks from falling into the sun.

New research suggests Saturn's moon Mimas may have a young, subsurface ocean hidden beneath its icy, cratered surface, challenging previous assumptions.

A new study reveals interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is ejecting large amounts of water at an unusual distance from the sun, challenging theories on cometary activity.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected methane gas on the dwarf planet Makemake, suggesting it has a temporary atmosphere.

The interstellar object 3I/ATLAS was recently struck by a solar eruption as it travels toward a close flyby of Mars, an event scientists are eager to observe.

NASA launched the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) to study the heliosphere and improve space weather predictions. The mission aims to analyze solar wind and interstellar particles.

NASA is set to launch three coordinated missions on Tuesday to study the edge of the solar system, Earth's atmosphere, and space weather from a vantage point one million miles away.
