The solar system moves through a local galactic cloud at a speed of 50,000 miles per hour, creating an interstellar wind of particles, some of which can travel all the way toward Earth to provide ...

Like the wind adjusting course in the middle of a storm, scientists have discovered that the particles streaming into the solar system from interstellar space have most likely changed direction over ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s Voyager spacecraft have crossed the boundaries of the Solar System to uncover an astonishing phenomenon: a fiery, high-temperature “wall” beyond the outer reaches ...

Data from NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft reveal that neutral interstellar atoms are flowing into the solar system from a different direction than previously observed.

A team of scientists, including seven from the University of New Hampshire, present findings from six years of direct observations made by NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission of the ...
