Abstract: Wind and photovoltaic power have become an essential part of modern power systems. Compared with photovoltaic or wind power generation, the hybrid WP-PV power generation system utilizes the ...

The Very Large Telescope's SPHERE instrument captured unprecedented images of 51 dusty rings shaping young planetary systems.

"Some of our ancestors were very skilled observers." A team of international researchers say they've uncovered new data on ...

Across the galaxy, astronomers now see that planetary systems fall into four broad classes, and our own solar system, part of the rare Ordered group, is only one of them. At the same time, discoveries ...

Observations with the instrument SPHERE at ESO's Very Large Telescope have produced an unprecedented gallery of "debris disks" in exoplanetary systems.

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

The United States has announced the sale of an advanced missile system worth almost $700m, which has been battle-tested in Ukraine, its second weapons package in a week, bringing the total to $1bn, to ...

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 ...

Abstract: In this work, we explore the feasibility of a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite-based space solar power (SSP) system, where LEO satellites use large photovoltaic (PV) panels to collect solar ...
