The Fifth Giant is a hypothetical ice giant proposed as part of the Five-Planet Nice Model, an extension of the Nice Model of solar system evolution.This hypothesis suggests that the early Solar System once contained a fifth giant planet in addition to the four currently known giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) is a solar observation mission. [2] Two nearly identical spacecraft (STEREO-A, STEREO-B) were launched in 2006 into orbits around the Sun that cause them to respectively pull farther ahead of and fall gradually behind the Earth.
An example of space weather: Aurora australis in the Earth's atmosphere observed by Space Shuttle Discovery, May 1991. Space weather is the environmental condition within the Solar System, including the solar wind. It is studied especially surrounding the Earth, including conditions from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere and thermosphere.
Earth tends to pull asteroids into partial or full orbits around it regularly before they are flung back out into space. For instance, one such space rock 2022 NX 1 was a short-lived “mini-moon ...
It’s the first time NASA has streamed a video from deep space using a laser. In the ultra-high definition video , the playful orange tabby cat chases, of all things, the elusive red dot from a ...
In planetary geology, the term "ejecta" includes debris ejected during the formation of an impact crater. When an object massive enough hits another object with enough force, it creates a shockwave that spreads out from the impact. The object breaks and excavates into the ground and rock, at the same time spraying material known as impact ejecta.
