The software is a fascinating way to provide a real time view of the current, actual positions of the planets, the moons and spacecrafts in the solar system. But if you just want to cut directly ...

A University of Florida astronomy professor discovered an unusual star system that challenges the current scientific theory on how solar systems form. Jian Ge, Ph.D., spent the last eight years ...

Last month, Google quietly killed off Google Sky Maps. But there’s still another way to virtually explore most of the solar system a la Google Maps: it’s called Google Maps in Space.

By the time its power dwindles, it will likely have completely redrawn the map of the outer solar system. The new results from the SDC were published on Feb. 1 in the Astrophysical Journal Letters.

With Google Maps, you can see the Golden Gate Bridge, tour the Pyramids of Giza, or study the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. Of course, if you're planning vacation destinations ...

As the team's map shows, the heliosphere doesn't exactly stay true to the "sphere" part of its name; the barrier around the solar system is more of a wibbly-wobbly blob that's far thinner on one ...

Within our solar system, an extra giant planet, or possibly two, might once have accompanied Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. Computer models showing how our solar system formed suggested the ...
