However, they’re not all like that and recently astronomers detected an Earth-sized planet orbiting a star that is only ...

It may be a 20km wide comet or a cosmic snowball, but it does not pose a threat to Earth. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read ...

The objects found in the Orion Nebula, located around 1,350 light years from Earth and known as Messier 42 (M42), have masses similar to that of Jupiter—plus, many come in binary pairings.

NASA’s latest mission has detected a mysterious object near Jupiter, leaving scientists puzzled over whether it’s a rogue moon, strange asteroid, or something entirely unknown.

The object — either pieces of a comet or perhaps an asteroid — pummeled into molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere, rapidly causing friction and heating up. Then, it explodes. "It's pretty much a ...

These objects have been nicknamed Jupiter Mass Binary Objects, or ''JuMBOs''. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful telescope developed by mankind, has spotted Jupiter-sized ...

Jupiter will be one of the most brilliant natural objects, if not the most, in the night sky. On Sunday, Jupiter will reach its closest distance to Earth in 59 years at around 367 million miles.

An amateur astronomer caught an object crashing into Jupiter but Earth is luckier than the gas giant. The object is a reminder of objects like Shoemaker-Levy 9.

Most Realistic Scenario: The simulation with the most realistic outcome involved an object eight times the mass of Jupiter passing within 1.69 AU of the Sun, slightly farther than Mars' current orbit.

The European Space Agency said Wednesday that scientists have discovered what might be only the third known interstellar ...

Jupiter's atmospheric phenomena, like winds, can reach deep down, to depths of around 2,000 miles into the atmosphere. What we see from the top of the atmosphere is just a fraction of what is ...
