Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has long intrigued scientists seeking to understand its mysterious origins.

New research suggests that Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was once even bigger—about twice its current size—and had a magnetic field 50 times stronger than it does today. This ...

Stars have magnetic fields that initially get stronger as the speed of the star’s rotation increases. There are still aspects ...

Our sun has been recently making news headlines as we’re still in a strong solar cycle that has generated numerous solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Jupiter may have once been more than twice its current size, with a magnetic field 50 times stronger, say scientists who ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Over time, the planet has shrunk to its current size as its surface cools. Then, the team used the radius to calculate the ...
