To put the wind speeds into perspective, the fastest winds ever observed in our solar system are on Neptune, at a speed of 1,800 kilometers per hour.

Venus will outshine other planets, appearing brightest in the dusk sky.

Mars' snow is made of carbon dioxide ice, not water ice. During the Martian winter, temperatures can drop to as low as minus 190 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 123 degrees Celsius).

It was previously thought that the gravitational forces around a black hole were too extreme for such a star system to survive.

Impacts vaporize micrometeoroids, keeping the rings clean and challenging previous age estimates.

The research team's simulations indicate a 1 in 100 chance that an interstellar visitor could produce the orbits we see today.

In 2016, scientists Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin suggested that an unseen Planet Nine could explain the unusual orbits of some Kuiper Belt objects, sparking interest in its possible existence

The findings of a team led by Hebrew University researchers reveal a relationship between ozone levels and atmospheric stability.

The discovery sheds light on the age-old mysteries of how planets are formed, and in particular how much time young worlds have to consume gas before it drifts away.

“It’s a useful planet because it may be like an early Earth,” says Soares-Furtado.
