The magnetic fields in our solar system are surprisingly diverse—Jupiter's and Saturn's are extremely strong, but Mercury's is puny. Uranus's and Neptune's are out of whack with the direction of their rotation, although others are closely aligned.
Several upcoming space missions seek to study planetary magnetic fields, which offer a window into planets' internal makeup as well as their history and formation.
Model solar system creates interactive experience across Lethbridge | Globalnews.ca
Travelling to outer space may not be a realistic achievement for the average person, but the Lethbridge Astronomy Society is bringing a little piece of the solar system down to Earth.
Around 17 years ago, member Klaus Jericho had the idea to create a scaled-down model solar system that would fit within the city of Lethbridge.
The asteroid 'Kleopatra' is challenging what we know about the solar system
The most detailed telescope photographs yet of the asteroid Kleopatra — named after the ancient Egyptian queen — clearly show its weird "dog-bone" shape, and astronomers say their studies of it could yield clues about the solar system.
The latest observations of the asteroid, more than 125 million miles from Earth in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, have allowed scientists to more accurately measure Kleopatra's unusual shape and mass — and it's turned out to be about a third lighter than expected, which gives
This 'dog-bone' shaped asteroid challenges our solar system knowledge | TweakTown
Astronomers have detailed that an asteroid that is "dog-boned" shaped is challenging human understanding of our solar system.
Astronomers recently used the European Space Agency's Very Large Telescope to take what is now considered as the best images of the dog-boned shaped asteroid named Kleopatra.
EarthSky | Missing impact debris mystery solved?
Unlike solid and molten debris, this gas more easily escapes the solar system, leaving little trace of these planet-smashing events.
The researchers published their peer-reviewed results in Astrophysical Journal Letters on July 13, 2021.

UW Space Place gives audience a 'Tour of the Universe' with guest speaker · The
Exhibiting the vast reaches of the universe, guest speaker Dean Regas from the Cincinnati Observatory gave a presentation at the University of Wisconsin Space Place Tuesday.
" So the universe is vast,” Regas said. “It is humongous. It is hard to wrap your brain around. It’s hard to really get a feel for it, but I’m going to do my best to get you a feel for where you are in the universe and how big it is.”
Interstellar Probe: Where Are the Limits of the Solar System? - Market Research Telecast
Where the boundary between the earth’s atmosphere and space runs cannot be determined once and for all to the nearest meter. Depending on solar activity and atmospheric dynamics, it is sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower.
The start of the interstellar probe could take place between 2030 and 2042, explains Silvan Hunziker (ETH Zurich) in a video presentation for the online one Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) .
