In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration The planetary system we call home is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids Beyond our own solar system, there
In Depth | Earths Moon – NASA Solar System Exploration The brightest and largest object in our night sky, the Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet's wobble on its axis, leading to a relatively stable climate It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years The Moon was likely formed after a Mars-sized body collided with Earth several billion years ago Earth's Moon is the only
Stardust | JPL | NASA The Stardust Imaging Science team gave a colloquium to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at California State University, Los Angeles
Stardust | JPL | NASA Activities are in progress to predict the power margin at aphelion, when the spacecraft reaches the furthest point in its orbit from the Sun Since Stardust is the first spacecraft to operate so far away from the Sun, there is no data for solar powered spacecraft at this distance, so we will take a conservative approach in regards to power usage It is expected that the DSN passes will
The Sun By the Numbers - NASA Solar System Exploration The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris – in its orbit

In Depth | Sun – NASA Solar System Exploration The Sun is a 4 5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star Without the Sun’s energy, life as we know it could not exist on our home planet From our vantage point on Earth, the Sun may appear like an
