Researchers discover a new superhighway system in the Solar System
Researchers have discovered a new superhighway network to travel through the Solar System much faster than was previously possible. Such routes can drive comets and asteroids near Jupiter to Neptune’s distance in under a decade and to 100 astronomical units in less than a century.
In their paper, published in the Nov. 25 issue of Science Advances, the researchers observed the dynamical structure of these routes, forming a connected series of arches inside what’s known as space manifolds that extend from the asteroid belt to Uranus and beyond.
Scientists discover superhighway network which can be used to travel through the Solar System-
Scientists have now discovered a superhigh network to travel through the Solar System much faster than was earlier thought possible. As per study authors, such routes can drive comets and asteroids near Jupiter to Neptune in under a decade and to 100 astronomical units in less than a century. Study authors say that they could be used to send spacecraft to the extreme ends of the planetary system relatively fast and also monitor near-Earth objects.

Scientists Detect First Potential Radio Signal From Exoplanet in Different Solar System
Washington: An international team of scientists has collected the first possible radio signal from a planet beyond our solar system, emanating from an exoplanet system about 51 light-years away.

Using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), a radio telescope in the Netherlands, the researchers uncovered emission bursts from the Tau Bootes star-system hosting a so-called hot Jupiter, a gaseous giant planet that is very close to its own sun.

'Great Conjunction' 2020: NASA tips to see Jupiter and Saturn shine as a 'Christmas Star' | Space
Jupiter and Saturn will align in the night sky on Dec. 21 in an event astronomers call the " great conjunction " — also referred to as the "Christmas Star" — marking the planets' closest encounter in nearly 400 years.
When Saturn and Jupiter converge on Dec. 21, the two planets may appear as a bright point of light that will be easily visible in the night sky. The two planets have slowly been moving closer to each other over the past few weeks.
Billionaires Want to Be the Gatekeepers of the Solar System - In These Times
Space is our birthright. " Americans should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery and use of resources in outer space," President Donald Trump wrote April 6 , 2020 , issuing the " Executive Order on Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources." In the stroke of a pen, Trump planted the U.S. flag on " the Moon, Mars and other celestial bodies."
As Trump declared these space lands and resources open for business, you could hear the cheers — mostly from " moonshot" corporations that have clamored to sweep away the patchy, unregularized Cold War-era space law in favor of new, unregulated corporate plunder of the solar system.
Jupiter, Saturn merging in night sky, closest in centuries
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Jupiter and Saturn will merge in the night sky Monday, appearing closer to one another than they have since Galileo's time in the 17th century.
Astronomers say so-called conjunctions between the two largest planets in our solar system aren't particularly rare. Jupiter passes its neighbor Saturn in their respective laps around the sun every 20 years.
But the one coming up is especially close: Jupiter and Saturn will be just one-tenth of a degree apart from our perspective or about one-fifth the width of a full moon. They should be easily visible around the world a little after sunset, weather permitting.
Our solar system might be a lot hairer than previously thought - Tech Explorist
A new illustration released by NASA shows that our home planet Earth is surrounded by theoretical filaments of dark matter called “hairs.”
The data on hairy dark matter is based on a study by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Gary Prézeau, that appeared in a 2015 article in the Astrophysical Journal.
Neither dark matter nor dark energy has ever been directly detected, although many experiments try to unlock the mysteries of dark matter, whether from deep underground or in space.
