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

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

Because Amalthea and Thebe have slightly tilted orbits, Batygin and Adams analyzed these small orbital discrepancies to calculate Jupiter's original size: approximately twice its current radius ...

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.

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 ...

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

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.

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

In a remarkable breakthrough, researchers from the University of Minnesota have uncovered a new type of plasma wave in ...

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

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.

Many scientists refer to Jupiter as the "architect" of the solar system because its immense gravity influenced the orbits of other planets and carved up the cloud from which they all emerged.
