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 ...

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

According to the standard model of cosmology, the universe should be the same everywhere and look the same in every direction. A little caveat on this last part is that it’s the same in every ...

Across the galaxy, astronomers now see that planetary systems fall into four broad classes, and our own solar system, part of the rare Ordered group, is only one of them. At the same time, discoveries ...
