Scientists have long know many objects floating at the solar system's out edges resemble snowmen, but the reasons why were never clear. Now a student at Michigan State University has created the first ...

It comes down to the speed at which these objects were moving during their formation, and the strength with which their ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers who discovered it using telescopes from NASA and the European Space Agency, ...

Abstract: Rotating wind turbines are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than static wind turbine, possibly due to the different distribution of tip corona charges. However, there is a lack of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and analysis of a rotating solar panel system with IOT monitoring capabilities for voltage and current output. Also in this paper is specifically ...

There seems to be an enormous cloud of dark matter next to our solar system. We have never found one of these clouds in the Milky Way before, but precise cosmic clocks called pulsars finally made it ...

Earth and Mars were formed from material that largely originated in the inner solar system; only a few percent of the building blocks of these two planets originated beyond Jupiter's orbit. A group of ...

Recently, scientists discovered the fastest-spinning large asteroid in the solar system. It’s about the length of eight football fields — but it fully rotates every two minutes, or even a little ...

Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current solar harvesting technologies are limited, and they don’t capture as much sunlight as they could. Now, a team of ...
