A groundbreaking study published in Communications Earth & Environment has called into question the long-standing assumptions about how our solar system came to be. Tiny shavings from a meteorite ...

A research team led by University of Minnesota School of Physics and Astronomy Professor Yong-Zhong Qian uses new models and evidence from meteorites to show that a low-mass supernova triggered the ...

Kyoto-based Laplace System Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Masayuki Horii) has announced the release of the latest international version of its photovoltaic system simulation software, Solar Pro 5.0.

The system has provided a rich source of information on planet formation and evolution in a young solar system. Researchers used a variety of tools to compile radial velocity and transit timing ...

If you've ever wondered why we are here, then you can thank Jupiter for part of the answer. A new study from Rice University suggests that if it weren't for the gas giant, the Earth would have ...

Scientists from MIT and their colleagues have estimated the lifetime of the solar nebula — a key stage during which much of the solar system evolution took shape. This new estimate suggests that the ...

Peering through a cosmic keyhole at distant baby star, astronomers may have opened a new window on the deep past of our own solar system. Weighing in at 0.6 solar mass, HOPS-315 should someday grow to ...

Scientists were able to see the moment when planets began to form around a star. Astronomers have witnessed the birth of a solar system beyond our own for the first time. An international team of ...

Originally launched in 1997, Solar Pro is a high-precision software tool for designing, analyzing, and evaluating the performance and economic feasibility of photovoltaic systems. With over 3,700 ...
