NASA Supercomputer Unveils Surprising Spiral at Solar System’s EdgeIn a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Pleiades supercomputer has revealed an unexpected spiral structure within the inner Oort cloud, challenging long-held beliefs about our solar system's outer reaches.
NASA’s SPHEREx Space Telescope Ready to Launch
NASA's Artemis campaign is rapidly advancing the development of Gateway, a space station that will orbit the Moon and serve as a crucial hub for future deep space exploration. Major progress has been made on the HALO habitation module,

Space on MSNNASA supercomputer finds billions of comets mimicking the Milky Way's shape: 'The universe seems to like spirals!'"We found that some comets in the inner Oort cloud form a long-lasting spiral structure." Spirals are a repeating theme in astronomy, with arguably the most famous example of a swirling armed structure being our home galaxy,

Space on MSNNASA switches off Voyager instruments to extend life of the two interstellar spacecraft 'Every day could be our last.'NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.
The NASA boffins in white coats and thick-rimmed glasses have detected new signals that show the Oort cloud - the spooky shell of icy objects at the very edge of our solar system - might have spiralling arms that resemble a galaxy.
Using a NASA supercomputer to run models, researchers led by SwRI astronomer David Nesvorny now believe that the Inner Oort cloud looks like a spiral disk, around 0.24 light-years across, with two arms like many a galaxy, albeit oriented vertically.
Scientists have confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections in the sun’s magnetic field. An international research team, including an astrophysicist from Oregon State University,
