The Solar System is passing through an interstellar cloud. Antarctic ice reveals material accumulated from long-dead stars.

Fluctuating levels of radioactive iron-60 suggest the solar system recently entered a cosmic cloud.

Rossendorf (HZDR) has confirmed, through the analysis of Antarctic ice tens of thousands of years old, that the Solar System ...

Our solar system is currently passing through the Local Interstellar Cloud, a region of highly diluted gas and dust between ...

When you think of outer space, you’re likely picturing stars, planets and moons. But much of space is filled with clouds of gas, plasma and stardust – known as interstellar clouds. In the local parts ...

Earth is quietly collecting radioactive debris from an ancient stellar explosion as our Solar System drifts through a giant cloud of gas and dust between the stars. Scientists analyzing Antarctic ice ...

The solar system is now at the edge of this cloud, but the massive stockpile of cosmic stardust has left signatures on Earth's southernmost region.

Young star systems are a place of violent collisions between rocks, comets, asteroids and larger objects as the dust and ice of a stellar nebula coalesce into planets and moons. But the largest ...

New research reveals how Saharan dust impacts solar energy generation in Europe. Dust from North Africa reduces photovoltaic (PV) power output by scattering sunlight, absorbing irradiance, and ...
