After doing some research, I found out that these four moons have very orderly orbits, almost all in the same plane, like ...

After some exploration, I discovered that the motion of these satellites was anything but random. Particularly notable were ...

Scientists using NASA's Juno spacecraft have discovered a new plasma wave in Jupiter's auroras, offering fresh insight into ...

Four and a half billion years ago Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the ...

F or the first time, researchers have dated the formation of Jupiter by studying tiny, bead-like spheres found preserved in ...

Jupiter does not orbit around the sun. It is so big, so massive, that it orbits a different center of gravity or barycenter, than all the other planets in our solar system.

Four and a half billion years ago, Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the ...

A new study sheds light on what Jupiter, often called the "architect" of the solar system, was like in the beginning. The giant planet has dramatically changed.

Discovering a second hot Jupiter precursor is helping astronomers to confirm the idea that high-mass gas giants transform into hot Jupiters as they migrate from eccentric to circular orbits, the ...

Billions of years ago, Jupiter’s violent growth transformed the young solar system, smashing icy and rocky bodies together at ...

Astronomers may have solved the mystery of how hot Jupiter exoplanets are born, finding a gas giant with a weird orbit in the process of transforming into just such a world.
