A new Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) study based on data from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft has uncovered insights into why the solar wind gradually slows as it moves toward the edge of the ...

The solar system moves through a local galactic cloud at a speed of 50,000 miles per hour, creating an interstellar wind of particles, some of which can travel all the way toward Earth to provide ...

Like the wind adjusting course in the middle of a storm, scientists have discovered that the particles streaming into the solar system from interstellar space have most likely changed direction over ...

For nearly five decades, NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft have ventured farther than any other human-made object, pushing into the mysterious boundary where our solar system ends and interstellar ...

Data from NASA’s Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft reveal that neutral interstellar atoms are flowing into the solar system from a different direction than previously observed.

DURHAM, N.H. – On Thursday, October 15, scientists and engineers from the University of New Hampshire's Space Science Center will celebrate the announcement of the first major results from the ...

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has uncovered how interstellar atoms slow solar wind speeds at the edge of the heliosphere, reshaping our understanding of solar system boundaries.
