Jupiter got body-slammed by the solar wind, and scientists have finally caught it in action. A massive solar event compressed ...

Then there's the question of what actually lies at Jupiter's core. Magnetic field data from the Juno spacecraft suggest that the planet's core is surprisingly large and seems to be made of a ...

As per the study conducted by scientists at Ohio State University, these gas giants could form in just 1 to 2 million years, ...

Wondering what there is to love about Jupiter? The Jovian giant has many reasons that are worthy of your affection, whether ...

The core of that crashing planet would have then merged with Jupiter's core. "Because it's dense, and it comes in with a lot of energy, the impactor would be like a bullet that goes through the ...

The ringed gas giant Saturn has officially replaced Jupiter as the planet in our solar system with the most moons. The International Astronomical Union officially recognized 128 new moons orbiting ...

A new study challenges traditional models of how planets form. A new analysis of existing data suggests that exoplanets with masses comparable to Jupiter may have formed significantly earlier than ...

Gas giants are planets, like the largest in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with swirling gases that surround a smaller solid core. “We believe it ...

The findings provide strong evidence that four giant exoplanets 130 light-years from Earth formed much like Jupiter and ...

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system ... Most of the planet's bulk is liquid hydrogen, through which drops of helium are thought to fall towards the planet's core. Around 12,000 kilometres ...

This finding provides compelling evidence that the giant planets in HR 8799 formed through core accretion, a process similar to the formation of Jupiter and Saturn. Diminutive Barnards Star is ...
