... of the solar system is actually hard to define. The solar wind extends outward about three times the orbit of Pluto. At this point the solar wind from our Sun mixes with the solar wind of the interstellar medium. This is called the termination shock. However, most astronomers agree that there is a great swarm of comets around our solar system. The far edge of this is ...
Traveling out of the solar system is harder, because other stars are so much farther away than planets. Some ideas for reaching ... solar electrical power can be generated. A continuous push from the laser banks could accelerate a light sail spacecraft to a substantial fraction of the speed of light. Going at near light-speed is ...
This is the comprehensive history of the nuclear rocket propulsion system that will enable robotic and human exploration of our solar system. During a two decade period, from the 1950s to the 1970s, the US government's Rover and NERVA program developed the system and ...
Since black holes are the final stage of a star greater than eight to ten solar masses, there are no black holes within the confines of our solar system

... any signs of plant life in our solar system; however, we are just now embarking on such missions. We have robotic rovers on the surface of Mars trying to uncover the early history of that planet ... Europa. Europa is one of Jupiter's moons, and we believe that underneath its ice-covered surface there is a liquid water ocean that has the promise of conditions suitable for the existence of life ...
