Something incredibly strange is happening in our cosmic neighborhood: a mysterious gravitational disturbance is hurtling Jupiter toward the Sun. If it sounds like science fiction, that’s ...

Jupiter is already the biggest planet by far in our solar system, but new research suggests it was somehow once even larger than it is now. Twice as large, in fact.

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.

Normally, planets do not grow in size much larger than Jupiter since increasing their mass causes the extra gravity to restrain radial growth. But, if a planet is hot, as many of these likely are ...

Based on their calculations, researchers believe early Jupiter was 2 to 2.5 times larger than it is today with a much more powerful magnetic field. ... ‘The sun has been eaten’: ...

“We’ve identified a star-orbiting hot Jupiter-like object that is the hottest ever found, about 2,000 degrees hotter than the surface of the Sun,” said lead author of the study Na’ama ...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a unique, fluffy exoplanet that is 50% bigger than Jupiter over a thousand light-years away. The exoplanet, named WASP-193b, has an extremely low density that researchers… ...

Jupiter is already the biggest planet by far in our solar system, but new research suggests it was somehow once even larger than it is now.. Twice as large, in fact. To put that into context ...

Jupiter is closer to the earth than it’s been in 59 years right now, and this is why. Here’s everything you need to know about spotting it while it is at it’s biggest and brightest this week.

Although much closer to Earth than Jupiter — Mars now stands 1.5 astronomical units (AU) away, as opposed to Jupiter’s distance of 5.4 AU from Earth — it is also physically much smaller than ...

If you're wanting to see Jupiter at sunset, have your back against the sun and look at the horizon. "At sunset, you're looking to the east," Professor Horner says. "It's bang on east, pretty much." ...
