Some of these flecks are even older than the Solar System itself—the presolar grains in the Murchison meteorite, for instance, go back 7 billion years.

Analysis of an ancient meteorite suggests that rocky planets both near and distant from the sun may have formed at the same time, challenging current models of our solar system’s evolution.

Observations of the young HOPS-315 star system show an environment analogous to what our own nascent Solar System would have looked like billions of years ago. The star is surrounded by a ...

And one day, the solar system will cease to exist. But when will the solar system end? And how will it die out? The answers to those questions depend on how we define the death of the solar system.
