Medicine & TechnologyScientist have announced that Jupiter will soon be more closer to Earth than it has ever been. You can see its moons even without a high grade telescope.
Scientists have found evidence of a giant ringed gas planet which may be up to fifty times more massive than Jupiter, orbiting a star over thousand light years away from Earth.Astronomers have a good idea why a distant star is winking out. A massive planet with rings bigger than Saturn's could be the culprit.
Jupiter has fascinated sky-gazers for millennia but it wasn’t until probes are sent to the planet that scientists began to unravel its deepest secrets. Now, new scientific data from Juno, the most recent spacecraft to rendezvous with the gas giant, shows that Jupiter has many more secrets still.
A rare cosmic alignment has allowed scientists to observe a never-before-seen phenomenon on Jupiter’s volcanic moon Io two huge waves sweeping across the surface of a lava lake the size of Wales.
If a star is a planet, it sounds a little strange because the star is a massive gaseous stellar object. However, a team of astronomers from Carnegie Institution for Science claimed that a Brown Dwarf is, in fact, a planetary-mass object.
Jupiter's cold moon Europa has likewise long been known to have a sub-surface sea that contains more fluid water than is available on the whole planet Earth in the solar system.
