Astronomers measure the speed at which the solar system is hurtling through space by mapping surrounding galaxies and ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

As radio maps of distant galaxies came into focus, researchers saw a pattern they did not expect. Their new analysis now suggests the solar system may be racing through space far faster than long ...

Have you ever wondered just how big space really is? It’s huge. In fact, it’s astronomical! The Colorado Scale Model Solar System depicts the Sun, the planets, and the distances between them all on ...
