As a young protostar forms, angular momentum conservation dictates that any small rotational terms are amplified under contraction.

Relative to solar-system timescales, Saturn’s rings are believed to be quite young, estimated to be only 100–400 million years old. This estimate is based on the remarkable purity of the material composing the rings.

In our galaxy, an estimated 40% of stars are members of binary systems, which are often embedded within a circumbinary dust disks.

On the 27th of August, the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), observing from Sutherland, South Africa, captured data on asteroid 2024-PT5.

In 2013, NASA's Curiosity rover detected organic compounds in Martian rock samples, prompting further investigation into their implications for the planet's history.

In late 2018, the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter gathered exciting radar data suggesting the presence of liquid water beneath Mars' south polar ice cap.

1991 marked the 25th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, and so to celebrate, creator Gene Roddenberry collaborated with astronomers Sallie Baliunas, Robert Donahue, and George Nassiopoulos to write an arti

Earth's geology is uniquely characterised, within the solar system, by its layered differentiation and active plate tectonics, facilitating ongoing crustal recycling.

A significant challenge in modelling the early solar system is explaining the presence of liquid water on Earth.

Exoplanets have long been a subject of fascination and intense study in astronomy.

So-called ‘Super Earths’ are described as planets with masses that exceed that of the Earth’s, but remain lighter than the ice giants in our system.
