Solar System Here

A vast collection of rocky debris located between Mars and Jupiter.

At the center of everything lies the Sun, a yellow dwarf star that contains 99.8% of the total mass of the entire system. Its immense gravity holds everything from the largest planets to the smallest grains of dust in orbit. Through nuclear fusion, the Sun provides the energy that drives weather, ocean currents, and photosynthesis on Earth. Without the Sun, the solar system would be a dark, frozen graveyard of drifting rock. The Inner Circle: Terrestrial Planets solar system

The solar system is currently located in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way galaxy. While it feels massive to us, it is just one of billions of planetary systems in our galaxy alone. As technology advances, we continue to send robotic explorers to the moons of Jupiter and the plains of Mars, seeking to answer the ultimate question: are we alone in this cosmic neighborhood?

Jupiter and Saturn are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Through nuclear fusion, the Sun provides the energy

A pale blue world that is unique because it rotates on its side, likely due to a massive collision early in its history.

A theoretical sphere of icy objects surrounding the solar system, serving as the source for long-period comets.
