Getting samples of the undisturbed interstellar magnetic field could also help map the distribution and shape of the interstellar clouds of gas and dust that surround our solar system such as the ...

As a massive bubble encasing the solar system that stretches across tens of billions of miles and protects us from harmful interstellar radiation, there is a lot for us to learn about the ...

Despite causing occasional blackouts here on Earth, the solar wind actually does a pretty good job of defending our planet (and the solar system) from the harshest interstellar radiation.As the ...

Space is a pretty empty place. But it’s not completely empty, as a new map of the interstellar space in the 1,000 light-years around the sun shows. Using the light from 1,857 stars, a team of ...

The solar system drifts inside an immense, low-density cavity known as the Local Hot Bubble (LHB). This region, spanning at least 1,000 light-years, radiates X-rays due to its searing million ...

Astronomers have been trying to understand the mysterious interstellar object that zipped through our solar system in 2017, dubbed ‘Oumuamua. A new study suggests answers about its color ...

Using data from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey, astronomers have created a 3D map of the low-density bubble of X-ray-emitting, million-degree hot gas that surrounds the solar system.
