Gaia-4b is considered a super-Jupiter planet, a relatively cold gas giant, orbiting its star over 570 Earth-days. That star ...
When Jupiter was young, about 4.5 billion years ago, a protoplanet with 10 times the mass of Earth crashed head-on into its surface. The impact shook Jupiter to its core - literally. That's the ...
According to a pre-print research paper, which is yet to be peer-reviewed, an object 8 times the mass of Jupiter—which itself is 318 times greater than Earth's mass—may have swept through our ...
A new study suggests that a close encounter with a massive interstellar object, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, may have significantly altered the orbits of the four outer planets in our ...
An interstellar object, possibly 50 times Jupiter’s mass, passed through the solar system, leaving scientists intrigued about its impact. What disturbed Titan? Saturn’s gravity may hold the ...
At over 1,000 times the volume of Earth, Jupiter’s mass is two and a half times that of all other planets combined, making it a cosmic behemoth between Mars and Saturn. Jupiter’s atmosphere ...
Sitting more than 365 million miles away from us, Jupiter's mass is around 300 times that of Earth. The gas giant could fit more than 1,300 Earths inside - an almost incomprehensible size.
An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course.
The object can be found 320 light years away from Earth, a distance equivalent to the size of the Tarantula's Nebula and it was uncovered by Maritza Soto, a Ph.D student in the Astronomy Department of ...
Today, Jupiter’s great mass continues to be felt. Its gravity torments its moon Io, creating the most volcanically active body in the solar system. And through the vice-like grip it exerts over ...
