But here''s the really amazing part. Our Solar System extends much, much farther than where the planets are. The furthest dwarf planet, Eris, orbits
The scale of our Solar System is gigantic. There''s more to our cosmic neighbourhood than eight planets and an asteroid belt.
At half the diameter of Pluto, Charon is the largest satellite relative to its planet in the Solar System. Many New Horizons scientists expected Charon to be a monotonous, crater-battered world
There are eight planets in the solar system. The four inner terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, all of which consist mainly of rock.
New observations from the Hubble Space Telescope have revealed the intricate structure of the galaxy NGC 4696 in greater detail than ever before. The elliptical galaxy is a beautiful cosmic oddity with a
Observing the Sun''s microwave emission has revealed new information about the star''s solar flares
How BIG is Our Solar System—really? In this video, we reveal the true scale of the solar system, from the sun and eight planets to the asteroid belt, Kuiper Belt, and the mysterious...
Space Rocks: An interview with former Ash guitarist Charlotte Hatherley All About Space caught up with the space-enthused musician, ahead of her unique sci-fi set at the brand new space and music event
How big is the Solar System? Short answer: The Solar System is a disc shape, 244 astronomical units wide (244 times the distance from the Sun to the Earth, or about 36.6 billion km).
How do we image the Eagle nebula? Visible light, infrared radiation and X-rays come together to reveal the beautiful inner workings of the Eagle nebula
The far edge of the Oort Cloud is considered the edge of our Solar System, making our cosmic neighborhood quite big indeed. So, to find how big the solar system is across, we could

The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the masses that orbit it, most prominently its eight planets, of which Earth is one. The system formed about 4.6 billion years ago when a dense region of a molecular cloud collapsed, creating the Sun and a protoplanetary disc from which the orbiting bodies assembled. Inside the Sun''s core hydrogen is fused into helium for billions of years, releasing energy which i
