Using groundbreaking data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have captured a planet's final moments as it spirals into its star—and Earth is next. Discover the terrifying physics behind orbital decay, the "drag of doom" that could incinerate our world, and why astronomers say Earth’s fate is a 50/50 coin toss.

Cosmic countdown: Astronomers witness planet's descent into stellar inferno

The solar system was packed with 50 to 100 protoplanets billions of years ago. Not all of them lived to tell the tale of the chaotic time. Science & Tech Trending

Earth hit by meteorite that originated from a non-existent planet

#GRAVITAS | The International Astronomical Union officially recognized 128 new moons orbiting the ringed planet Saturn which brings its current moon count to 274  which is nearly twice as many as all the other planets combined. Watch this video to find out more.

Saturn beats Jupiter with the most number of Moons

Science & Tech | Trending | Asteroids and comets from Alpha Centauri are lurking on the outer edges of our solar system. There is a record of two interstellar visitors who breached the interiors.

Scientists say the Earth's core is slowing down and it could possibly be rotating in reverse.
How is this possible?
What does it mean for our planet?

Scientists say earth's mysterious inner core is changing shape

A new study reveals that Earth's inner core is rotating slower than the rest of the planet. Scientists suggest this shift could impact Earth's magnetic field and even alter the length of our days. What does this mean for our planet’s future?

Study: Core rotating slower than the rest of the planet

This discovery may help in answering other questions about the Moon like why it has less metal compared to Earth and why it has fewer big impact basins than expected



The Moon may be much older than we thought, new study suggests

Researchers from the United States, France and Germany have discovered that Earth’s natural satellite may have been formed as early as 4.53 billion years ago. This estimate derived from the new analysis is hundreds of millions of years earlier than previous ones.

The age of Saturn's rings was assumed on the basis of the absence of dust which happened because of constant bombardment of high-speed meteoroids which slammed the ice and converted them to rings



Saturn's rings may have existed since the Solar System was created: Study

Scientists believed that Saturn did not always have rings and they had been created more than 100 to 400 million years ago. Now in a new study, researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research and the Institute of Science Tokyo have found that the rings of Saturn may not have been ancient but as old as the Solar System.

Recent discoveries on Uranus' moons reveal potential conditions for life, suggesting these distant moons might hold environments where alien life could exist.

Space is a mysterious and dangerous place. While we know that black holes can swallow up whole planets, some things are far scarier than them. Apart from black holes, various objects in the universe can pose a threat to not only our planet but the whole solar system.

If you think black holes are the most dangerous objects in space, you’re wrong

An icy body in the outer solar system is spewing hot gas and has baffled scientists for years. Centaur 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 was discovered in 1927 and undergoes highly active and quasi-periodical outbursts every six to eight weeks.

Centaur, an icy body in space, is shooting multiple jets of hot gas. What's going on?

Astronomers have discovered a planet roaming in the Milky Way, orbiting a white dwarf. Around 1.9 times the mass of Earth, this planet likely supported life during its lifetime and orbited a host star.

Planet orbiting a dead star hints at Earth's destiny after our Sun dies

Scientists have suggested that a tiny black hole is likely to pass through our solar system after every decade and this can be spotted by observing the wobbling of Mars.

A 'primordial' black hole will pass through our solar system every 10 years. Will it harm?

Our universe is full of mysteries and wonder. While scientists and researchers keep discovering new phenomena and celestial objects, a much larger part of it remains unknown, which baffles scientists.

7 Unsolved Space Mysteries That Still Leave Scientists Scratching Their Heads

A report on Earth.com suggests that the boundaries of our solar system were stretched by a strange force, something that flew by. Astrophysicist Susanne Pfalzner of Forschungszentrum Jülich, has discovered that a stellar flyby caused the occurrence and the edges of the solar system are beyond where they once were.

Invisible force zoomed through solar system and threw off objects from their orbit

Astronomers have found new objects lurking towards the edge of our solar system. The Kuiper Belt that lies beyond Neptune is a cold, ring-shaped field filled with multiple icy bodies.

Another Kuiper Belt? Mystery zone spotted at the edge of our solar system

The samples collected from the 4.5-billion-year-old Asteroid Bennu and brought to Earth are being studied by researchers from Curtin University, who are part of an international team, to understand the origins of our solar system.

Asteroid Bennu brought life and water to Earth, it existed before Solar System's origin: Study

The Sun has had the largest number of sunspots in over 20 years this month, according to the US agencies observing the star. The estimated Sunspot Number or SNN for 8 August may have reached 299, said the US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) in Boulder, Colorado.

The Sun probably just had the largest number of sunspots in over 20 years: What does it mean?

Mount Everest has always been the ultimate challenge for mountaineers since it was first successfully climbed by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. However, a new interactive map has brought to the fore the solar system's tallest mountains which have widened the scope of the mountaineers to conquer the unfathomable mountain which has the tallest peak in the universe.

Not Mount Everest but THIS is the tallest mountain in solar system. Can humans scale this?

Scientists have spotted a very strange activity in our Solar System. They observed that a comet was pushed out of the solar system by Saturn after a close encounter with the planet.

Saturn kicks out a comet outside our solar system at a scary speed of 6,700 mph. Here's how

Scientists have created new simulations which have suggested that a 9-mile-thick layer of diamonds is lurking deep below Mercury's surface. However, there is no chance of mining these diamonds, however, it may explain some of the biggest mysteries of the planet.

THIS diamond planet is lurking near Earth. Can it make Earthlings richer anytime soon?

NASA has scripted history by discovering six unknown worlds outside our Solar System, which has pushed the number of exoplanets hunted so far to 5,502. The new find is likely to further expand the understanding of life beyond Earth and the Solar System.
