Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, with the help of the world’s most powerful telescope, ventures through the Milky Way and into the universe beyond, on the hunt for alien worlds.

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

"If our solar system is indeed moving this fast, we need to question fundamental assumptions about the large-scale structure of the universe." Astronomers have discovered that the solar system may be ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

The Earth's movement is primarily directed towards the star Lambda Herculis at an approximate speed of 45,000 mph (72,000 km/h). This velocity, while significant, would require approximately 5.5 ...

The gravitational influence of dark matter on stellar motions within galaxies, particularly the high velocities of stars in the Milky Way, is the primary evidence for its existence. This influence is ...

The newborn planetary system appears to be emerging 1,300 light-years away around a baby star known as HOPS-315. Planet-forming materials were first identified using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
