Why do the solar system’s planets have different compositions?While the composition of gas and dust in a molecular cloud is fairly uniform, everything changes once a star begins to form.
Exoplanets have captured the imagination of the public and scientists alike and as the search continues for more, researchers ...
The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

Long-sought measurement of exotic beta decay in thallium helps extract the timescale of the sun's birthThis measurement has profound effects on the production of radioactive lead (²⁰⁵Pb) in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and can be used to help determine the sun's formation time. The ...
2024 — How long did it take our Sun to form in its stellar nursery? Scientists are now closer to an answer. They succeeded in the measurement of the bound-state beta decay of fully-ionized ...
