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 only one of more than 200 billion stars moving about in...

Absolutely, and in many ways. For one, all the exoplanets orbit their stars, just like our planets (such as Earth and Mars) orbit our sun. In addition, our solar system as well as all of the others orbit around the black hole in the centre of the Milky Way! But what is even more...
2. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It’s famous for the iconic ‘Great Red Spot’, an enormous anticyclonic storm located just south of its equator. Another significant feature on this planet is the powerful Aurorae on the north pole, which was first discovered by the Hu...
A long time ago, people didn't realize that all these things in the Solar System move around the Sun. They thought everything moved around the Earth, including the Sun. This seems sensible, because the Earth doesn't feel as if it's moving, does it?
which come from outside the solar system. Namely, a more active sun with a stronger solar wind will attenuate the flux of cosmic rays reaching Earth. The key point in this picture is that the cosmic rays are the main physical mechanism controlling the amount of ionization in the troposphere...

The Milky Way is full of strange galaxies and cosmic discoveries just to be made. Case in point, a new solar system discovered by NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the ESA’s CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) has six planets, and they’re all moving in sync...
