In the first year of operations, JWST has been used to study a wide range of solar system objects (see Table1), setting the foundations for many future unique investigations. Program IDs are listed for each publicly released image. The observations sample the faintest, the smallest, the bright...
Our planetary system was formed 4.6 billion years ago! For most of history it was thought that everything in space moved around the Sun, however around the 17th century the idea, that the earth is just one of the planets in the system, started gaining popularity. In fact, the Sun is on...

The new mission, called the Sun Radio Interferometer Space Experiment (SunRISE), will help understand how the solar system works to protect astronauts traveling in space by providing better information on how the Sun's radiation affects the space environment, said the release. ...
The inherent intermittency of solar power due to diurnal and seasonal cycles has usually resulted in the need for alternative generation sources thereby increasing system operation costs. However, when solar power is spread over a large geographical area with significant time differences, the intermittenc...
An overview of the implementation of these physics is discussed below, and the detalied formulation is presented in the Supplementary Information. Cathode The absorption profile of the solar spectrum and the associated spatial variations of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the semiconductor ...
