The size of the solar system may seem like it has a simple answer, yet there is no universally agreed upon definition for where our solar system ends.
The sun is constantly emitting a stream of radiation called the solar wind . The heliopause is the region of our solar system where the solar wind is overtaken by the radiation of interstellar space.
Unraveling a meteorite mystery reveals Solar System origin story | Carnegie Institution for Science
The raw material from which our Solar System was constructed was dispersed when the shock wave from an exploding supernova injected material into a cloud of dust and gas, causing it to collapse in on itself.
“The mystery arises from studying the isotopic composition of meteorites, which can be used as a laboratory to test theories of Solar System formation and evolution,” Boss explains.
Space volcanoes: Origins, variants and eruptions | Space
Within our solar system, the moon and Mars are rich with evidence of volcanoes and fiery volcanic activity, while other bodies possess volcanoes that spew ice from their frozen vistas.
Now volcanically inert, the surface of the moon once hosted spectacular eruptions that created lava flows that extended as far as 750 miles from their source, according to San Diego State University (opens in new tab) .
Tidal heating could make exomoons much more habitable (and detectable)
The research was conducted by graduate student Armen Tokadjian and Professor Anthony L. Piro from the University of Southern California (USC) and The Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science.
"In terms of astrobiology, tidal heating may boost the surface temperature of a moon to a range where liquid water can exist. Thus even systems outside the habitable zone may warrant further astrobiological studies.

What Does Space Smell Like? | HowStuffWorks
We all know space is empty, right? Most of space is completely absent of anything – not dust, not planets nor sun , not even air. So, why do many of the people who've been to space and spent time in it report that space has a smell?
It turns out that space does smell, and our solar system has a very particular smell. This is likely the result of several factors, but all are clear: Our corner of the universe is kind of stinky.
