The 400 light-years away open cluster in the constellation of Taurus and among the nearest to the Earth -- Pleiades -- seems to be ever happening, now that small, rocky planets may be in the making in the cluster!
It is all happening around one...

The solar system is something that still remains a mystery for us. Our little minds are still busy exploring the mere origin of this vast universe. Yet, when a piece of this huge jigsaw falls in place, something new is implored, further adding to the.
The solar system has been the subject of numerous studies till date. An interesting discovery made by Voyager space crafts found that the solar system is dented. This discovery has been made from the 'edge' of the solar system. The edge of the...
Whenever we think about the planet we are inhibiting, a large massive body roaming around the sun comes to amaze us. However, Astrophysics are out to explore similar solar systems outside our solar system.
Now, scientists have detected a few...
Astronomers and Space scientists who have contributed greatly in the exploration of 28 new planets encircling different stars (just like Sun) have opined that our Solar system is not one of its kinds at all; and it is not distinctive too. They have...
Yet another new discovery of a planet has been made after its 14 'perhaps' smaller siblings are spotted beyond our solar system. Unlike the other gas giants of the size of the Jupiter, this new very hot world is found to be bigger than...
Don't get deceived by their huge size like that of Jupiter. The gravititional strength of all the 14 known gas giant planets outside our solar system is surprisingly found to be much closer to that of Earth! -- and not as intense as that of...
Water is considered the key ingredient for the existence of life forms. Astronomers looking for life on the other planets in the solar system and elsewhere in the universe always begin by checking for the availability of water. The presence of water..
According to researchers Meteorites that strike Earth contain important information about the evolution of the solar system.
More than 31,000 meteorites have been found on our planet with weights ranging from one gram to 60 metric...
Recent studies have confirmed that the continuous bombardment of billions of tiny particles from the Sun can affect the spin of an asteroid.
The effect is not that great if you check it out on annual basis but once you see that the process has...
