If we had the LSST online prior to `Oumuamua’s passage through the inner solar system, we would have discovered it much earlier in its trajectory, we could have had the opportunity to send a space mission to intercept and rendezvous with the object because it came so close to the Earth. Therefore, in the future when we discover more interstellar objects, we will be able to send a dedicated space mission to an interstellar object.

The comets and asteroids in the solar system have arguably taught us more about planet formation than what we’ve learned from the actual planets in the solar system, i think that the interstellar comets could arguably tell us more about extrasolar planets than the extrasolar planets we are trying to get measurements of today.

The Earth is nothing but phlegm spat out by the Sun, and our immediate solar system a whirlwind of boulders. There is no delicate balance.

These are the only planetary bodies, other than Earth, where liquid water is stable at geological timescales, which is crucial for the emergence and development of life, they are, in my opinion, the best place in our solar system to discover extraterrestrial life, so we need to study their exotic oceans and interiors to better understand how they formed, evolved and can retain liquid water in cold regions of the solar system, so far away from the sun.

This comet started its journey in the most distant parts of our Solar System and may even leave the Solar System entirely after this visit, so capturing this historic event has been extraordinary.

The juxtaposition of our friendly visitor and galaxies hundreds of millions of light-years away really conveys how enormous our universe is, this comet started its journey in the most distant parts of our Solar System and may even leave the Solar System entirely after this visit, so capturing this historic event has been extraordinary.

When we look at these objects, we’re looking backward through time, we get to know more about the origins of the universe, which will tell us where our solar system is headed. As humans, we started out with the same elements as these stars.

I’m eager to go back there, for sure, based on the satellite study, there are 300,000 meteorites, at least, waiting to still be collected in Antarctica. And the larger the (number of) samples that we have, the better we can understand our solar system.

Then I can start to think about the origin of this rock, how it evolved over time, what kind of parent body it came from, and where in the solar system that parent body formed, those are kind of the big questions that we try to address.

Now we know that the origin of the universe, the making of elements in stars, the creation of the solar system and Earth and the early history of our planet was incredibly tumultuous.

These first observational results from an Earth-sized, rocky planet open the door to many future possibilities for studying rocky planet atmospheres with Webb, webb is bringing us closer and closer to a new understanding of Earth-like worlds outside the Solar System, and the mission is only just getting started.

Based on the data currently available, this star appears to have a slow-moving companion that is surrounded by a large disk of material, if that material were in the solar system, it would extend from the sun to Earth’s orbit, or farther.

Our moon serves as basically a celestial library right next door, lunar rocks and lunar ice basically serve as the books of this library. We can use them to begin to reveal how the solar system has evolved. This can really help us gain insight into what was happening here on Earth when life was establishing a foothold in the solar system.

We'll look at our own solar system with new infrared eyes, looking for chemical traces of our history, and tracking down mysteries like Jupiter's Great Red Spot, composition of the ocean under the ice of Europa, and the atmosphere of Saturn's giant moon Titan.

My idea is, where can we take miniaturized robotics and apply them in interesting new ways for exploring our solar system ? with a swarm of small swimming robots, we are able to explore a much larger volume of ocean water and improve our measurements by having multiple robots collecting data in the same area.

Presumably, it was produced by another star, got kicked out of that star's planetary system and just so happened to make its way to our solar system and collide with Earth.

Because the surface of Mimas is heavily cratered, we thought it was just a frozen block of ice, iWOWs, such as Enceladus and Europa, tend to be fractured and show other signs of geologic activity. Turns out, Mimas' surface was tricking us, and our new understanding has greatly expanded the definition of a potentially habitable world in our solar system and beyond.

The first source is located outside our solar system and is generated by remnants of multiple supernovae explosions forming what is now called the Local Hot Bubble region of our galaxy, the second source is within the solar system and is generated by the solar wind charge exchange.

Parker Solar Probe' touching the Sun' is a monumental moment for solar science and a truly remarkable feat, not only does this milestone provide us with deeper insights into our Sun's evolution and( its) impacts on our solar system, but everything we learn about our own star also teaches us more about stars in the rest of the universe.

Are we Martians ? Early in the solar system, there was a lot of exchange of material, collisions were abundant and pieces of rock that chipped off Mars ended up landing on Earth, it's possible that life started somewhere other than Earth.

At the heart of Lucy is the science and how it's going to talk to us about the Trojans, it's so important to go observe them because these asteroids tell us about a chapter of our own story -- in this case, the history when the outer planets were forming in the solar system.

It's so important to go observe them because these asteroids tell us about a chapter of our own story -- in this case, the history when the outer planets were forming in the solar system, i'm still amazed by the fact that if you pick up a rock or you look at one of those planetary bodies and you add science to it, it turns into a history book.
