The solar system consists of stars, the Sun, 8 planets, dozens of moons, millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. It orbits the centre of the Milky Way galaxy at about 515,000 mph.

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.

Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun in different orbits in three-dimensional space. Scientists have claimed that an interstellar visitor, much larger than any celestial body in our solar ...

Narrator: Serious scientists, like myself, believe our solar system was formed by the collapse of a giant cloud of gas and rock and is held together by the gravitational pull of the Sun.

"By studying the sun up close, we can better understand its impacts throughout our solar system, including on the technology we use daily on Earth, as well as learn about the workings of stars across ...

"Parker Solar Probe was developed as part of NASA’s Living With a Star program to explore aspects of the Sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society," said NASA in a statement.
