Over the past decade, researchers have been puzzling through Pluto’s mysteries. Meanwhile, the New Horizons probe heads for interstellar space.

NASA has released new detailed images revealing a full-frame view of the peculiarly shaped asteroid Donaldjohanson.

A team of astronomers believe they may have discovered a new dwarf planet—just like Pluto—on the edge of our solar system. The object—which orbits out beyond Neptune—has been named "2017 OF201" by the ...

A Cousin of Arrokoth The Altjira system is part of the same family of KBOs as another object named Arrokoth. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft visited Arrokoth in 2019, revealing its peanut-like shape.

NASA’s New Horizons mission changed our understanding of the outer solar system. After its famous Pluto flyby, it traveled even farther to meet an object called Arrokoth. This mysterious Kuiper ...

When NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew past Pluto, its next destination was something even more surprising—Arrokoth, a mysterious object in the Kuiper Belt. This video explores what makes ...

Researchers found that Arrokoth has a distinctive reddish colour, which is linked to the presence of complex organic molecules.

Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth, the farthest object ever explored by a spacecraft, likely tastes sweet — and soapy.

In other words, Arrokoth probably tastes sweet — and soapy. Moreover, when viewed from space, the PAHs, glucose and other sugars would appear red, scientists reported.

A team of researchers led by CNRS-University Côte d'Azur have found that Arrokoth, a snowman-shaped rock, is rich in sugars identical to those found in human cells.

Arrokoth is one of thousands of ‘icy worlds” in the Kuiper Belt, or the outer zone of the solar system that lies beyond Neptune. It is the farthest object in space that has been explored by a ...
