"We were quite surprised," Dones continued. "Spirals are seen in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars and galaxies. The ...

Feeding data on these comets along with other observations into an advanced model on NASA's Pleiades supercomputer, the researchers found evidence that the "flat disk" image could be outdated.

Most of the long-period comets in the Solar System come from the outer Oort Cloud. The inner region is much more stable. It's ...

When the scientists ran this model through NASA's Pleiades supercomputer ... But the researchers think that, if we are to understand where comets come from, how our solar system evolved and ...

For the yet-to-be peer-reviewed study, scientists used NASA's Pleiades supercomputer to model the structure of the Oort cloud based on the trajectories of comets as well as the gravitational ...

NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has provided fresh ... Icy leftovers, dwarf planets, and the birthplaces of long-period comets. It marks the outer limits of our solar system, a territory so remote ...

Researchers utilized NASA's Pleiades Supercomputer to simulate the ... of what we know of the Oort cloud “comes from long-period comets — “snowballs” of ice and dust punted from the ...

New research founded upon a simulation using NASA’s Pleiades supercomputer has proposed that the ... which has historically been understood only through scientists’ knowledge of distant comets.

Now, using a powerful NASA supercomputer called "Pleiades," scientists have discovered ... billions of icy bodies surrounded by a shell of comets called the Oort cloud. Even though the Oort ...
