Astronomers have puzzled for years over a strange pattern in the outer solar system. A surprising number of icy bodies far beyond Neptune resemble snowmen, made of two rounded lobes stuck together.

Out in the Kuiper Belt, the massive doughnut of debris beyond Neptune, about one in 10 kilometer-scale objects have surprised scientists with their unexpected shape. Rather than resembling a ball, ...

A newly studied solar system breaks the usual planet pattern, raising fresh questions about how rocky and gas planets form.

As the climate crisis intensifies, interest in solar engineering is increasing, including among private companies and investors. But the technique is controversial and lacks regulation.

Scientists have made a breakthrough that could help solar panels run cooler, last longer, and generate more power — without relying on energy-hungry equipment. A team led by the Indian Institute of ...

This year, astronomers discovered more than 100 previously unknown moons in our own solar system. There may be many more yet to be discovered, and cataloguing them could help us better understand how ...

Battery costs have fallen sharply over the past two years. A steep drop in 2024 was followed by further declines in 2025, pushing storage within reach for dispatchable solar, according to Ember. The ...

Earth may owe some of its properties to a nearby star that blew up just as the solar system was forming. This pattern, which saw a supernova bubble envelop the sun and shower it with cosmic rays, may ...

Combining solar panels and farming, agrivoltaics is proving to be a win-win for farmers and the planet. According to CleanTechnica, this "solar grazing" is a match made in heaven. For years, solar ...

For years, California lawmakers were stymied. But now, at a crucial juncture for electricity in America, the state is embracing an ambitious and long-awaited plan: to buy and sell far, far more power ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...
