Experts from Harvard College in partnership with the Black Hole initiative have raised the possibility that the orbital evidence for Planet 9 could be the result of a missing link in the decades-long puzzle of dark matter.
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will zip past the scrawny, icy object nicknamed Ultima Thule (TOO-lee) soon after the stroke of midnight.
In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) -- a global group of astronomy experts -- established that to be called a planet, it is required to "clear" its orbit, or in other words, be the largest gravitational force in its orbit.
The new study published in the journal Nature proposes a novel cooling mechanism that could solve the puzzle.
The bowl-shaped ridges in Pluto’s ‘bladed’ or ‘snakeskin’ terrain composed largely of methane ice and are primarily a result of dramatic climate change.
After the discovery of layers of interesting fogs a year ago, the New Horizons spacecraft has now claimed to have identified some hints of clouds on Pluto. "We're excited about the exploration ahead for New
