A new study shows a deep connection between some of the largest, most energetic events in the universe and much smaller, weaker ones powered by our own Sun.
The results come from a long observation with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory of Abell 2146, a pair of colliding galaxy clusters located about 2.8 billion light-years from Earth. The new study was led by Helen Russell from the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham.
Iron meteorites point to millions of years of chaos in early solar system | Space
A great demolition derby, with a chaotic mess of asteroids and forming planets constantly slamming into each other, took place in the early solar system between 7.8 million and 11.7 million years after the sun formed, according to a new analysis of iron meteorites that were once part of metallic ...
Behold: The biggest known comet in our solar system | Science News for Students
New data show that a comet discovered in 2014 is one for the record books. This frigid object, dubbed Bernardinelli-Bernstein, is the largest comet ever spotted.
Comets are chunks of rock and ice that orbit the sun. Such "dirty snowballs" in space are often surrounded by clouds of gas and dust. Those hazy shrouds arise from frozen chemicals sizzling off comets as they pass near the sun.

Billions of years ago, when the Sun was still a proto-star that had not yet ignited, the young solar system may have contained a fifth giant planet in addition to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Planet X (Planet Nine) - WorldAtlas
Planet X, also called Planet Nine, is a hypothetical planet that orbits the sun in the far outer regions of the solar system . To date, there are eight known planets in the solar system, yet it is possible that there are more planets out there.
If Planet Nine existed, it would orbit the sun at an extremely vast distance. Planet Nine is estimated to orbit the sun at a maximum distance of 75-billion miles (120-billion kilometers), or about 26 times further from the sun than Neptune .

Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) has added a new element to its sustainability curriculum: An off-grid solar system to power its greenhouse.
The idea started as a project from students in the Nexus program before being handed off to Tom Mongeon, Director of Maintenance, and sustainability teacher, Dave Trevithick.
Earth could be ripped out of the Solar System by a rogue star, experts claim | The US Sun
OUR planet has been happily orbiting in the Solar System for billions of years but some scientists think this could all change.
The Sun's gravity currently keeps Earth in its stable orbit but the presence of another large star could change this, according to research.
Boulder's Southwest Research Institute nears next milestone for PUNCH mission
The Southwest Research Institute in Boulder will hit a new milestone next week, checking another task off its list as it moves closer to completing a yearslong NASA-funded mission to study how the sun's atmosphere connects with interplanetary space.
Next week, the Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere mission, known as PUNCH, will complete the first portion of Phase C — critical design review — before it moves on to the second half of Phase C, which focuses on the project’s schedule and budget, said Craig DeForest, principal ...
