The core of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has long been a source of mystery for astronomers. Conventional ...

For centuries, astronomers have sought to understand the formation and evolution of the solar system and the dynamics that govern it. In particular, there is the long-standing question of whether ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have shed light on the formation of Jupiter, revealing that this gas giant likely emerged 1.8 million years after the solar system began. By examining tiny, bead ...

Peering through a cosmic keyhole at distant baby star, astronomers may have opened a new window on the deep past of our own solar system. Using combined observations from the James Webb Space ...

Ultimately, without a time machine, we will never fully recover the precise history of our solar system's formation, so we will never be entirely sure what role giant impacts had in the ...
