As interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS makes its closest approach to gas giant Jupiter, a team of astronomers has concluded it may be even older than we thought. By analysing its chemical composition, they ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has forced planetary scientists to rethink what lies at the center of Jupiter. Instead of the dense, compact ball of rock and ice that textbooks long assumed, new interior ...

What processes were responsible for Jupiter’s formation? This is what a recent study published in Scientific Reports hopes to address as an international pair of scientists investigated the physical, ...

Four and a half billion years ago, Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of small rocky and icy bodies similar to modern asteroids and comets, ...

A peculiar class of meteorites has offered scientists new clues about when the planet Jupiter took shape and wandered through the solar system. Scientists have theorized for years now that Jupiter ...

New research suggests that Jupiter’s icy moons may have formed with complex organic molecules already embedded in their building blocks.

Four and a half billion years ago Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of small rocky and icy bodies similar to modern asteroids and comets, ...

New research from Rice University suggests that the giant planet Jupiter reshaped the early solar system in dramatic ways, carving out rings and gaps that ultimately explain one of the ...

Stonehenge’s central stone, known as the Altar Stone, may have had Scottish and not Welsh origins, researchers say. The finding suggests that Late Neolithic groups had long-distance connections, Bruce ...
