In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration 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
RPS 3D Viewer - NASA Solar System Exploration NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system
In Depth | Sun – NASA Solar System Exploration In Depth 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

In Depth | Ganymede – NASA Solar System Exploration Not only is it the largest moon in our solar system, bigger than the planet Mercury and the dwarf planet Pluto, but NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for an underground saltwater ocean on Ganymede
In Depth | Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration There are hundreds of moons in our solar system – even asteroids have been found to have small companion moons Of the terrestrial (rocky) planets of the inner solar system, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons at all, Earth has one and Mars has its two small moons
In Depth | Oumuamua – NASA Solar System Exploration The first known interstellar object to visit our solar system, 1I 2017 U1 ‘Oumuamua, was discovered Oct 19, 2017 by the University of Hawaii’s Pan-STARRS1 telescope, funded by NASA’s Near-Earth Object Observations (NEOO) Program, which finds and tracks asteroids and comets in Earth’s neighborhood
Jupiter - NASA Solar System Exploration Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and the largest in the solar system – more than twice as massive as the other planets combined
In Depth | Earths Moon – NASA Solar System Exploration The craters themselves, which have been preserved for billions of years, provide an impact history for the Moon and other bodies in the inner solar system If you looked in the right places on the Moon, you would find pieces of equipment, American flags, and even a camera left behind by astronauts
In Depth | Enceladus – NASA Solar System Exploration Few worlds in our solar system are as compelling as Saturn’s icy ocean moon Enceladus A handful of worlds are thought to have liquid water oceans beneath their frozen shell, but Enceladus sprays its ocean out into space where a spacecraft can sample it
