We may need to re-think our models of Jupiter’s formation thanks to the first results from Juno probe orbiting the planet, and new observations from Earth.
Measurements suggest Jupiter’s core may be fluffy rather than dense and that its magnetic field is much stronger than previously thought.
Earth is a relatively dry planet compared to some of the other ocean worlds in our Solar system. Life needs water so what about life on these other places?
There has been much excitement this week about the possibility of water – and life – on some newly discovered exoplanets. But we can look closer to home for evidence of ET.
Several of the newly-discovered exoplanets orbiting a small star appear to be locked in an intricate dance that hints at how such planetary systems can form.
From the discovery of gravitational waves, to the Pokémon Go phenomenon to the Census debacle, it’s been a big year in science and technology.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has faced a series of challenges during its first 150 days.
New research solves enigma of strange hotspots in Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Juno’s visit to Jupiter promises to pick up on many of the unsolved mysteries that still remain in understanding of the Jovian system.
Look towards the north-west after sunset and there is currently one bright point of light that easily stands out relative to everything around it. That is the planet Jupiter, shining with an intense and…
The perilous Juno mission could help reveal how Jupiter formed, whether it has a rocky core and even whether it influenced life on Earth.
A new theory could change our understanding of the moons in our solar system – and the genesis of life itself.
Missions including ExoMars, Juno and Rosetta could make some major discoveries in 2016.
It’s regarded as a Biblical myth, but what the magi are supposed to have seen is rooted in astronomy.
Jupiter had a big influence on how our solar system’s planets formed. New research – led by a high school student – tried to nail down how rare Jupiter analogs really are in other planetary systems.
Recent Martian findings are just the latest discoveries of aurora on other planets, both in and out of our solar system.
Climate change is altering the iconic face of Jupiter, too
How a bunch of pebbles could have created Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus.
Space scientists have a busy decade ahead with plans to visit Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and other interplanetary bodies all on the cards.
