New measurements from the Juno probe show that the largest planet in the solar system is slightly smaller and flatter than ...
The planet's radius from pole to center has been revised to 66,842 km, and at the equator to 71,488 km. That makes it about ...
About 5 million years ago, the exoplanet PDS 70b was born. This planet, 370 light years from Earth, is a cosmic newborn that formed well after the extinction of the dinosaurs. It’s part of a pair of ...
Jupiter may be a bit more petite than expected, and that could have a big impact on how scientists model the mysterious interior of the giant planet.
To derive the stellar rotation axis of Beta Pictoris the team used the unique high angular and high spectral resolution mode of VLTI/GRAVITY to measure shifts in the centroid position in the hydrogen ...
