The solar system is something that still remains a mystery for us. Our little minds are still busy exploring the mere origin of this vast universe. Yet, when a piece of this huge jigsaw falls in place, something new is implored, further adding to the...

European astronomers have discovered an extrasolar planet about the size of Neptune that they say is covered with hot, solid water.

The planet called GJ 436b is orbiting a cool, red star that is 30 light-years away. According to the astronomers...

Astronomers have found giant remains of a massive cosmic collision beyond Neptune.

The collision would have occurred between objects one of which would have been half the size of Pluto.

These remains could one day cross the orbit of Neptune and...

We have earlier told you about luxurious bathtubs and waterproof TV sets to glorify your bathroom. But, if you thought, you have seen it all, then get ready to take your bathing experience to another higher level with the bathtub surround sound system...

An asteroid has been newly spotted in Neptune’s orbit. This asteroid indicates the existence of a much larger cloud of rocks in that region, though it is not seen yet.

The asteroids in their main belt between Mars and Jupiter might be even les than...

Researchers studied the internal structure of icy moons in the far reaches of the solar system. By creating in a laboratory the conditions of pressure, temperature, stress, and grain size that mimic those in the deep interiors of large icy moons, a...

The NASA scientists are busy readying their spaceship to be launched on Pluto by the summer of 2015. It is scheduled to launch on Jan. 17. This mission will be the first space expedition aimed specifically at a celestial body beyond Neptune. Pluto is...

The solar system’s formation needs a rethinking. This is felt with the discovery of ‘Buffy,’ an object on the Kuiper Belt’s fringe that extends far beyond Neptune. It is a frigid mini-planet 300 to 600 miles across. The object seems to be throwing a...

Another object is detected beyond the ninth planet of our Solar System. It’s a large object traveling in an orbit. It is tilted by 47 degrees to most other bodies in the solar system. But, inspite of being almost circular, why is the object’s orbit so...

There is a world at the fringes of the solar system, a massive, cigar-shaped world. Astronomers have been exploring it for long. And their constant discoveries have been suggesting multiple moons that orbit many large, distant objects. But, the...
