Scientists have discovered the first meteorite that doesn’t fall into one of two fundamental groups. The meteorite provides a unique glimpse into the era of asteroid formation and migration.
A fireball embellished the night sky over India on January 23, 1870. Accompanied by a thunderous detonation, the fiery mass crashed in the village of Nedagolla with enough force to leave the bystanders stunned .
Another Planet 9? Earth's twin may be hiding in the outer Solar System
The eight planets of our Solar System aren't the only ones we've ever had — they're merely the survivors.
But that doesn't mean the other planets were destroyed. Earth may have a long-lost sibling somewhere in interstellar space. At least one rocky planet, around the same mass as Mars , may have been booted out of the early Solar System.
UMPI Showcases Solar System Model with Grant, Presque Isle, Maine
The University of Maine at Presque Isle has received a $7,500 enterprise grant for the Maine Solar System Model to help showcase it as a great tourist attraction.
The money came from the Maine Office of Tourism’s Marketing Partnership Program. A virtual media event took place September 22, 2021.
One of the coolest places in the solar system: NASA has decided where to land the lunar rover
NASA plans to send a robotic rover to search for water ice near a crater at the moon’s south pole.
By 2023, the instrument, the size of a small car, will sit on the edge of Noble’s 73-kilometer crater, which will always be in the shade and will not see the sun, writes BBC science editor Paul Ringen.
Incentive payments to install solar, wind power across Illinois
At 84, James Custer doesn't expect to experience the full benefit of a solar-power system that is designed to last 25 years or more on his Springfield home.
But the retired lobbyist for the Illinois State Board of Education said he already is experiencing big savings on his monthly City Water, Light & Power bills.
Here's Why The Liquid Water On Mars' Surface May Have Vanished : NPR

All evidence points to the fact that Mars once had flowing water, but numerous flybys, orbiters, landers and rovers have confirmed one undeniable fact — any liquid water that was once on its surface is now long gone.
Residential Solar System Sizes Continue to Rise in the U.S.: Berkeley Lab - Mercom India
The Berkeley Lab has found that solar photovoltaic (PV) system sizes continue to grow in the United States. In 2020, the median was 6.5 kW for residential systems, up from 2.4 kW in 2000. The median was 42 kW for non-residential systems in 2020.
Median installed prices have gone down by roughly $0.4/W per year, on average. However, the price decline has tapered off, with prices dropping since then at roughly $0.1-0.2/W per year since 2014, Berkeley Lab said in its annual Tracking the Sun report.
SuperyachtNews.com - Technology - Solbian Solar delivers largest solar system ever installed on a
Presented at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show, the 44.6m Baltic 146 PATH features the largest solar system to ever be installed on a sailing yacht.
Michael Körner, CEO Solbian Solar / Sailectron GmbH, said, "The integration of our customised photovoltaic systems not only allows a significant reduction of the ecological footprint in the operation of the yacht - through continuous charging independent of external resources as well as
A new planet? Astronomers believe they've found proof - Hawaii Tribune-Herald
Courtesy of Caltech The suspected orbit of Planet Nine that might exist in the Kuiper Belt is shown along with other distant objects.
Astronomers using the Subaru Telescope believe they have found evidence of a ninth planet in the solar system.
Astronomer Michael Brown and astrophysicist Konstantin Batygin, both professors at the California Institute of Technology, have after years of observations completed a study postulating that an unknown new planet might exist beyond the orbit of Neptune.
Scientists Want to Block Out the Sun. Should We? Is it Even Possible?
Experts warn that it might worsen the climate crisis, but can we afford to ignore solar geoengineering?
Scientists are seriously considering blocking out the Sun. To be more precise, they want to reflect a fraction of the sunlight that reaches Earth back out into the Solar System via a method called solar geoengineering.
