At apogee, when the Moon is farthest from the Earth, it's about 398,000 km surface-to-surface.
If we align the planets through their polar axes, they add up to a total distance of 364,799 km.
It is the sole other place in the Solar System known to have an earthlike cycle of liquids raining from clouds, flowing across its surface, filling lakes and seas, and evaporating back into the sky (akin to Earth’s water cycle).
Something spooky is happening at the edge of the solar system | Space
Just in time for Halloween, scientists have discovered something spooky and strange occurring at the edge of the solar system: The heliopause — the boundary between the heliosphere (the bubble of solar wind encompassing the solar system) and the interstellar medium (the material ...
Astronomer Predicts 4 Quintillion Spaceships in Our Solar System
A Harvard astronomer has studied objects seen flying through our solar system (that are believed to be extraterrestrial vehicles) and has done some math to try to figure out how many there are.
According to astronomer Avi Loeb, there could be as many as 4 quintillion spacecraft zipping about our solar system. That's a "4" followed by 18 zeroes. Which sounds like a lot (and it is). Granted, the solar system is huge, but still. That's a lot of spacecraft.
Dwarf Planet Haumea is one of the Stranger Objects in the Solar System. How did it get That way?
There’s still a raging debate in some circles as to whether Pluto should be a planet or not. Ask an astronomer, and their typical answer would be something like – if Pluto is a planet, then there are plenty of other bodies out there in the solar system that should be considered one ...
Solar Flares Might Actually Increase Habitability of Trappist-1 Exoplanets - The Debrief
A new study claims solar flares may actually make the planets in Trappist-1’s habitability zone even more habitable than first thought.
Located about 40.7 light years from our own solar system, the Trappist-1 planetary system has excited astronomers and astrobiologists alike due to the large number of rocky, Earth-like planets in the system that may also reside within the star's habitability zone where liquid water can exist on ...
Varun mulls 2,5MW rooftop solar system | The Herald
Distributed Power Africa (DPA), a business unit of Cassava Technologies has signed an agreement with Varun Beverages Zimbabwe to install a 2,5 megawatts rooftop solar system at Varun's manufacturing plant in Harare under a 25-year lease agreement.
With a forecasted annual energy production of 4,1 gigawatts, the system will be installed at Varun's Simon Mazorodze bottling plant in Harare and will be the largest roof-mounted solar system installed in Zimbabwe to date, and one of the largest in the southern African region, DPA and Varum ...

NASA Shares Image Where the Sun Looks Like its Smiling - Thrillist
The sun is more than a giant, molten ball of gas. It enjoys a good party, and it is more than willing to get dressed up for the occasion.
Following a partial solar eclipse on October 25, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) got an image of the solar system's only star, and it looks like it is smiling.
Big rocks slam into Mars, gouge craters, reveal subsurface features - The Washington Post
Mars has a lot of craters. Now it has two new ones — gouged by rocks that slammed into the planet late last year.
Mars will be fine. This is not a natural disaster. Nor an omen that Earth is newly imperiled by asteroids . The solar system is full of debris. Mars has a feeble atmosphere, and when a meteoroid comes flying in from space, it's unlikely to burn up before smacking into the surface.
