The strange blend of surface chemistry on Nix and Hydra raises big question about the evolution of the Pluto system.

Researchers at MIT have developed a method to detect small asteroids in the main asteroid belt, significantly improving our ability to spot objects as little as 10 meters across. This new technique, ...

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Researchers at Penn State University suggest that Earth’s only satellite may have come from a “binary-exchange capture” rather than a planetary collision, challenging ...

Professor Williams maintains that binary-exchange capture is a viable alternative to the standard collision theory and one that merits further consideration. The researchers argue that planetary ...

It’s thought that the shape of Sputnik Planitia and its location at the equator is down to an oblique, rather than a head-on, collision with another planetary body. “The formation of Sputnik ...
