Galaxies like the Milky Way boast more than spirals; they also have feathers, where clumps of new stars are born. Astronomers ...

The James Webb Telescope has discovered a gigantic galaxy in the early universe, likely from 12 billion years ago. Scientists ...

The edge of the Solar System is a strange place, full of oddities we've only just begun to probe. But perhaps the oddest of all is the Oort Cloud, a vast field of icy debris extending out to 100,000 ...

"We were quite surprised," Dones continued. "Spirals are seen in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars and galaxies. The ...

Even the little-understood Oort Cloud, at the outer edges of our solar system beyond view, has a partly spiral structure.

By looking at the shape and size of coprolites, as well as where they were found, scientists can work out what kind of animal the droppings might have come from. Coprolites can also contain clues ...

We have a rough idea of the size and shape of this field, but the fine particulars elude our understanding. Now, a new computational study has revealed a surprising structure – a spiral generated by ...

At the edge of our solar system, a host of large, icy bodies make up the Oort cloud, which appears to sport two spiral arms reminiscent of a disk-shaped galaxy. New research founded upon a simulation ...

Groundbreaking research reveals the Oort Cloud's shape as a spiral structure, challenging traditional beliefs about its random collection. NASA's Pleiades supercomputer simulations suggest the ...

The exact shape of the Oort cloud and how it is affected ... suggests the inner structure of the Oort cloud may look like a spiral disk. They published their findings Feb. 16 on the preprint ...

A coil of wire, or solenoid, consists of a wire coiled up into a spiral shape. When an electric current flows, the shape of the magnetic field is very similar to the field of a bar magnet.
