A passing star, or a stellar flyby, with the potential to pull Neptune out of its orbit by just 0.1%, could mean catastrophe for the entire solar system. But don’t worry — it won’t happen in ...

The study shows that even an 0.1 percent change to Neptune’s orbit could completely destabilize our solar system. Luckily, it won’t happen in our lifetime. You probably already know that ...

Researchers have found that if a star flying past our solar system moved Neptune’s orbit by just 0.1 per cent, it would result in pandemonium. A minor shift in the outer planet’s orbit could ...

While the James Webb Space Telescope looks for the most distant galaxies ever seen, astronomers have discovered something new in our very own solar system. Researchers from the U.S. and Canada have ...

Discovery of 2017OF201, a large trans-Neptune Object, challenges previous beliefs about the Kuiper Belt and hints at the ...

Researchers have shared a radical new idea for how to put a spacecraft in orbit around Neptune: Use the thin atmosphere of Triton, Neptune's largest moon, to capture it. The only spacecraft to ...

The find includes one moon spotted orbiting Uranus — the first discovery of its kind in more than 20 years — and two detected in Neptune’s orbit. “The three newly discovered moons are the ...

The moon's orbit is slowly moving closer to Neptune. Scientists believe it will either smack into the planet's atmosphere or break into a ring if tidal forces first rip the moon apart. Proteus was ...

A passing star, or a stellar flyby, with the potential to pull Neptune out of its orbit by just 0.1%, could mean catastrophe for the entire solar system. But don’t worry — it won’t happen in ...

Simulations suggest that a fly-by star would only need to nudge Neptune’s position by three times the distance between the Earth and the sun to cause the planets to go haywire. It may seem ...
