A new superhighway network running through the Solar System has been discovered by astronomers, and it could speed up space travel in the future. Researchers from the University of California San Diego looked at the orbits of bodies in our Solar System and computed how they fit together and interacted.

World’s largest solar telescope in Hawaii releases its first image of 10,000-mile wide sunspot that could fit the entire Earth inside The Inouye Solar Telescope captured its first image of a sunspot The image achieved a spatial resolution about 2.5 times higher than others The sunspot measures 10,000 miles across and its center is is 7,500F … Read more
Giant solar power station in SPACE could generate energy for Britain: Scientists could build a multi-billion pound satellite to match output of a nuclear plant… and there’s no need to worry about cloudy weather The government has ordered research into a multi-billion pound solar satellite British prototype called CASSIOPeiA would be a mile long and … Read more
Solar power stations in space that beam ’emission-free electricity’ down to Earth could soon be a reality thanks to a UK government funded project. Above the Earth there are no clouds and no day or night that could obstruct the sun’s ray – making a space solar station a constant zero carbon power source. The … Read more

Planet between Saturn and Uranus was ‘kicked out of the Solar System’ in its infancy — pushing the ice giants into new orbits around the sun Researchers from the US ran 6,000 models of the Solar System’s evolution They identified the model that best explained the orbital patterns seen today The team concluded that Jupiter and Saturn began in … Read more
Even if you’re a climate change denier, in an investment environment where many dividends are on shaky ground and bond yields are very low, solar funds provide a very attractive source of income. The fund with the highest dividend yield among the solar sector is NextEnergy Solar Fund, which also says it is the lowest-risk … Read more
The Moon’s once powerful magnetic field helped shield Earth and its developing atmosphere from powerful solar storms 4 billion years ago, a new study claims. Researchers led by James Green, NASA’s chief scientist, created computer models simulating the protective impact the Moon once had over Earth. The combined magnetic fields of both the Moon and … Read more
