Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to solve a cosmic puzzle about a mysterious object 15 times heavier than Jupiter. The answer reveals how we can finally tell planets and stars apart, even when they're nearly identical in size.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered how planets 15 times bigger than Jupiter might form, settling a cosmic debate. The breakthrough could explain how the universe's most massive worlds come to exist.
NASA's Webb Telescope just proved that a planet 15 times heavier than Jupiter formed the same way Earth did, rewriting the rules on how massive planets can grow. The discovery shows that giant worlds can build up piece by piece, even when they get enormously heavy.
NASA's Webb Space Telescope just solved a cosmic mystery about a planet 15 times heavier than Jupiter. Scientists proved it formed the same way Earth did, rewriting what we thought possible for giant planets.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just confirmed how the universe's heaviest planets are born, settling a long debate among astronomers. The discovery shows that even planets 15 times bigger than Jupiter form the same way Earth did.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a tiny star that shouldn't exist, with an atmosphere that challenges everything we thought we knew about how planets form.
Two of the brightest planets in our solar system are putting on a stunning show this April, visible to anyone who looks up after sunset. No telescope needed to catch Venus glowing in the west and Jupiter shining high overhead.
Tonight's sunset brings a celestial gift: the moon and Jupiter will appear side by side in the eastern sky, visible to anyone who looks up. The cosmic pairing offers a perfect excuse to step outside and reconnect with the wonder overhead.
A spacecraft heading to Jupiter perfectly positioned itself to film our solar system's third interstellar visitor, giving scientists an unprecedented view of a comet from another star system. Teams across the globe collaborated on this unexpected cosmic opportunity.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just discovered Jupiter's lightning strikes are at least 100 times more powerful than anything on Earth. The finding proves aging space missions still deliver groundbreaking science worth celebrating.
While NASA weighs budget cuts, the Juno spacecraft continues making stunning discoveries at Jupiter, including lightning storms 100 times more powerful than anything on Earth. The mission's uncertain future highlights a growing challenge in space exploration.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a mysterious cold spot in the aurora created by Jupiter's volcanic moon Io. The finding reveals how rapidly conditions change in one of the solar system's most powerful light shows.
NASA's Juno spacecraft discovered that Ganymede's shimmering auroras break into bright patches that mirror Earth's northern lights. The finding reveals this distant moon's atmosphere behaves more like home than scientists ever expected.
The James Webb Space Telescope just captured something never seen before: the glowing auroral footprints of Jupiter's moons Io and Europa. These stunning images reveal how electrons crash into Jupiter's atmosphere, opening new windows into planetary science.
Golfer Tom Kim nailed a stunning hole-in-one that sent his Jupiter Links teammates, including Tiger Woods, into pure celebration mode. The clutch shot on the 14th hole propelled the team straight into the SoFi Cup playoffs.
A shoebox-sized Australian satellite just wrapped up over two years in space, traveling the distance to Jupiter while capturing hundreds of images and detecting stellar explosions. The mission exceeded expectations and proved Australia can design, launch, and operate cutting-edge space technology.
NASA transformed telescope data from Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus into actual music, letting us hear the crackling auroras and sweeping rings of our solar system's giants. The soundscapes turn invisible X-ray data into an immersive audio experience anyone can enjoy.
A mysterious visitor from beyond our solar system has been captured on camera by a Jupiter-bound spacecraft, giving scientists a rare glimpse into the cosmos beyond our neighborhood. Only three interstellar objects have ever been spotted passing through our solar system.
Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus will parade across the sky together this weekend in a celestial event that won't happen again until 2040. Four of them will be visible without any special equipment.
Award-winning photographer Josh Dury captured a rare six-planet parade stretching across nearly 180 degrees of sky from England's southern coast. The cosmic lineup, visible through February 28, includes Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in one breathtaking image.
