A ring of icy rocks orbiting our sun just beyond Neptune may give us a glimpse of how Neptune - and other objects in the outskirts of our solar system - were formed.
Mors-Somnus, a binary duo comprised of a pair of icy asteroids bound by gravity, was recently concluded to have originated within the Kuiper Belt, meaning it can serve as a basis to study and enrich our understanding of the dy

An international team of astronomers has shed new light on the fascinating and complex process of planet formation. Using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (ESO's VLT) in Chile, researchers captured stunning images of more than 80 young stars and discs of dust and gas where planets are forming.
The research represents one of the largest surveys ever of planet-forming

The escalating challenge of space debris in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has sparked significant concern among space agencies and operators. With thousands of satellites, spent rocket stages, and fragments from disintegration and collisions whirling around the Earth, the risk of potentially hazardous collisions has never been higher.
