In the past decade alone, astronomers have been discovering planets outside our solar system or exoplanets, with astonishing speed.

the VLT has discovered several worlds outside the Solar system, with the help of an instrument called NACO.

Because no such planets exist in our solar system the physical nature of super-Earths is largely unknown.

NASA ESA and G. Bacon (STSCL) via U. Chicago) The researchers describe their work as an important milestone on the road to identifying potentially habitable Earthlike planets beyond our Solar system.

Because of its proximity to our solar system and the small size of its host star GJ 1214b is the most easily observed super-Earth.

craters in the solar system may offer clues as to how the moon formed. A massive impact on the moon about 4 billion years ago left the 2500-mile crater.

At 2500 kilometers across the SPA is the largest impact basin on the Moon and perhaps the largest in the solar system.

and that it last went through a significant shock event about 115 million years after the formation of the solar system 4567 million years ago.

Evidence for water outside our solar system has previously been found in the atmosphere of gas giants

It is likely that the object was as large as Vesta the largest minor planet in the solar system.

The finding of water in a large asteroid means the building blocks of habitable planets existedâ ##and maybe still existâ##in the GD 61 system and likely also around substantial number of similar parent starssays lead author Jay Farihi from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Cambridge. hese water-rich building blocks

and the primarily provider would be your solar system and your storage device.####For now, though, it s only a minor threat to utilities that levy high demand charges,

I think you ll see up to 50 percent of solar systems will have energy storage, ##says Rive.####The economics and scale that Tesla has achieved in the automotive market now make stationary energy storage more cost effective and reliable than it has ever been in the past,##JB Straubel,

So she opts for a small home solar system to cover basic needs like mobile charging.

Due to a combination of new found purchasing power, declining solar system costs, increasing kerosene costs, and advances in solar services business models,

Powering the Entire Solar system At first blush, most will imagine a space-based solar array powering our energy hungry businesses on earth,

#Nearby star is almost as old as the Universe Astronomers have discovered a Methuselah of stars#a denizen of the Solar system's neighbourhood that is at least 13.2 billion years old and formed shortly after the Big bang."

lies at a comparatively short distance of 190 light years from the Solar system and has been studied by astronomers for more than a century.

and more accurate determination of the star s distance from the Solar system, using 11 sets of observations recorded between 2003 and 2011 using the Hubble space telescope s Fine Guidance Sensors,

But the new addition to the catalogue of 800-plus exoplanets stands out in at least one major respect#it is far smaller than any planet yet discovered outside of our solar system.

"What makes this very interesting is this is a planet smaller than anything we see in our own inner solar system,

"Our solar system just contains nothing whatsoever inside Mercury s orbit. But it turns out that the average planetary system has a lot going on in the inner region.

But the software will be of even more benefit on future missions to the outer solar system and eventually planetary systems outside our solar system.

Although this planet probably cannot support life as we know it the discovery greatly expands the places we can look for potentially habitable worlds outside our solar system.

This shows more than ever that our solar system is not the paradigm in our galaxy says Beaulieu.

In which case he adds it is a direct remnant of one of the most violent events in our solar system's history.

Asteroid and comet impacts are ubiquitous in the solar system so Pontefract thinks impacts could have helped kick-start life on rocky planets

Neighbouring planet Kepler-10b was already famous among planet hunters for being confirmed the first rocky world outside our solar system.

The more we find planets outside the solar system the more we are surprised by the diversity of these new worlds says Dumusque e

and pervades the solar system. Its flow is turbulent containing eddies and moving at different speeds in different directions.

Fresh discoveries have put two moons in our solar system neck and neck in the race.

Both moons are now among the hottest prospects in the solar system for finding alien life

Some future extraterrestrials visiting our solar system will be able to look at the naked rocky core of

here's what it will Do it's the Mount everest of the solar system conquered only by an elite group.

We do however know that high speed impacts are a ubiquitous process as we see impact craters on every solid surface in the solar system says Mark Price at the University of Kent UK.

As impacts between icy bodies occur throughout the solar system then complex organic molecules are also very probably widespread.

Sprint-A will also peer at Jupiter's moon Io the most volcanically active body in the solar system to see how the tiny moon influences Jupiter's mighty auroras.

But it is clear from our solar system that a lot of other factors come into play says Schneider d

#Solar system has shaped a tail like a four-leaf clover Lucky us! Our solar system has a tail reminiscent of a four-leaf clover according to new observations of the plasma bubble that shields the solar system from the rest of the galaxy.

The discovery should help us better understand how our star interacts with the Milky way including how harmful cosmic rays from interstellar space manage to sneak through the solar system's magnetic barrier.

The sun is currently zipping through one of the Milky way's spiral arms at a relative speed of about 23 kilometres per second ploughing through thin clouds of interstellar dust and gas.

At the same time a stream of particles blowing out from the sun the solar wind inflates a bubble of plasma around the solar system called the heliosphere Astronomers have assumed long that the sun's motion through the galaxy squashes

IBEX creates images of the solar system's borders by observing neutral atoms produced when charged particles from the solar wind collide with other charged particles in the outer heliosphere Some of these neutral atoms are bounced back towards us.

and where material from our solar system affects the rest of the galaxy and how the galaxy influences us.

But some manage to impinge on our solar system and previous observations have shown that they seem to come mostly from the tail's direction says Dingus.

It could be that the heliotail is acting as a funnel for cosmic rays allowing them to leak into the solar system where the sun's influence is weakest.

and pilot their technology in outdoor solar systems. Unified Solar now becomes the finalist in the energy category in the MIT $100k Entrepreneurship Competition,

The telescope's measurements will provide astronomers with clues to events early in the solar system's history according to the agency's description of the project.

One theory is that the water in our solar system was created in the chemical afterbirth of the Sun

Homes with rooftop solar panels and batteries can actually use energy from their solar systems during power outages and

Exospheres are the most common type of atmosphere in our solar system, so scientists are keen to learn more about them. t's critical to learn about the lunar exosphere before sustained human exploration substantially alters it,

Tao likens the process to techniques used to discover exoplanets--new planets beyond our solar system.

Solarcity is already selling Tesla behind-the-meter batteries with its solar systems, and has been testing their ability to work in concert as an aggregated grid resource.

so this new discovery gives hope to the search for life in our solar system. Data from various probes and rovers like Curiosity and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have provided researchers with evidence concluding that there is flowing water on present-day Mars. Scientists understand that Mars was once Earthlike with large

because one of the best ways to learn how our solar system evolved is to look to younger star systems in the earlier phase of development.

which is dedicated to imaging and characterising exoplanets, planets discovered outside of earths solar system. The new planet is called 51 Eridani b. The GPI is a new astronomy instrument operated by an international collaboration headed by Bruce Macintosh, a Professor of Physics in the Kavli Institute at Stanford.

The key to the solar system? What makes 51 Eridani particularly interesting is that it also harbours dust

and the ice grains produced by collisions among asteroids and comets in the Solar system.""Metchev's team conducted a study with data from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE TO search for any thermal glow that such dust

"And more data from the European space agency's Herschel Space observatory reveal that 51 Eridani is surrounded also by a more distant and colder cometary belt, much like the Kuiper belt of comets beyond Neptune in the Solar system."

"The two belts the asteroid and the cometary belt around 51 Eridani fall on either side of the newly discovered planet 51 Eridani b."The overall structure bears striking resemblance to our own Solar system,

therefore seeing what the Solar system resembled at a very young age, around the time when the Earth was still forming."

Previous Jupiter-like exoplanets have shown only faint traces of methane, far different from the heavy methane atmospheres of the gas giants in our solar system.

"In the atmospheres of the cold giant planets of our solar system carbon is found as methane,

or even out of the solar system altogether. Instead of chemical fuel, which is heavy and inefficient, they use an ionic liquid,

#Astronomers discover powerful aurora beyond solar system Astronomers have discovered the first aurora ever seen in an object beyond our Solar system.

The aurora the scientists observed from LSR J1835+3259 appears powered by a little-understood dynamo process similar to that seen on larger planets in our Solar system.
