You start your day hearing wild news. Jupiter has just swallowed Saturn. And it doesn’t stop there. Jupiter is on its way to ...

Jupiter, named for the king of the ancient Roman gods, commands its own mini-version of our solar system of circling satellites; their movements convinced Galileo Galilei that Earth is not the center ...

Simulations reveal that Jupiter’s rapid growth disrupted the early solar system, creating rings where new planetesimals formed much later than expected. These late-forming bodies match the ages and ...

WASHINGTON – NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has provided new data on the Jupiter system, stunning scientists with never-before-seen perspectives of the giant planet’s atmosphere, rings, moons and ...

Close encounter: Juno flew within 3,100 miles of Thebe, capturing unprecedented detail at 1.9 miles per pixel. Ring connection: Scientists believe Thebe’s dust and gravity help form Jupiter’s faint ...

Where did meteorites come from and what can explain their diversity? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated the origin ...

A new study published in The Astrophysical Journal has traced six chemically distinct families of the Solar System's oldest meteorites to a single ring-shaped dust trap just beyond Jupiter's orbit — ...

Scientists may have found one of the main sources of rocky material for the solar system, forming diverse populations of baby planets over millions of years. In a recent study published in The ...

In the young Solar System, a dust trap beyond Jupiter may have built wildly different meteorite parent bodies over two million years. New simulations suggest the same ring-shaped region sorted and ...
