ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) that was launched in 2023 will take about 8 years to arrive at the jovian system ...

Jupiter’s immense size and gravity would make humans 11 times heavier, tear apart our Moon into rings and pull asteroids ...

Abstract: In the realm of network science, determining crucial nodes within a social network is an ongoing concern. As a result, it garners a lot of attention, and various centrality measures for the ...

Jupiter's rapid early growth dramatically reshaped our solar system, scientists now reveal. Its immense gravity acted as a cosmic divider, separating materials and influencing where planets formed.

Rice University researchers found that Jupiter’s early growth reshaped the young solar system, creating the conditions for late-forming meteorites and stabilizing the inner planets. Credit: ...

A new scientific study suggests that Earth might not exist as we know it today if Jupiter were never around. Astronomers believe Jupiter’s strong gravity has helped keep our planet’s orbit safe and ...

Not all of the solar system’s building blocks formed simultaneously. Some of the first solid bodies, or planetesimals, formed in the first million years after the Sun was born. Others, including the ...

The nature of gravity — and whether it can be reconciled with quantum mechanics — is one of the biggest mysteries in physics. Most researchers think that at a fundamental level, all phenomena follow ...
