Our Solar System Is Moving Faster Than Expected
Bielefeld, Germany (SPX) Nov 14, 2025 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 astrophysicist Lukas Bohme at Bielefeld University has now found new answers, ones that challenge the established standard model of cosmology. The study's findings have just been published in the journal Physical Review Letters. "Our analysis shows that the solar system is moving more than three times faste ... read more |
Haystack scientists study recent geospace storms and light showsBoston MA (SPX) Nov 15, 2025 The northern lights, or aurora borealis, one of nature's most spectacular visual shows, can be elusive. Conventional wisdom says that to see them, we need to travel to northern Canada or Alaska. How ... more
