An international team of researchers using data from NASA’s Juno mission has redefined the physical dimensions of the gas ...

After 50 years of assumptions, fresh data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveals Jupiter is slightly smaller and flatter, ...

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and the fifth planet from the Sun. It is a massive gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same elements that form stars.

Jupiter is officially “smaller” than it was yesterday. To be clear: the planet itself didn’t physically contract overnight.

A possible rocky exoplanet referred to as a 'cold Earth' that could orbit on the outer edge of the habitable zone has been found around a star 146 light-years away.

Astronomers have identified an Earth-like exoplanet 146 light-years away with a similar orbit and a Sun-like star. Could it ...

Now, a discovery by NASA has raised the tantalising possibility that we're not alone after all. The US space agency has ...

Observations of Exoplanet WASP-69b has uncovered a 350,000-mile-long comet-like tail. The tail is a result of its escaping ...

Brown dwarfs are too massive to be a planet but not large enough to be a star, giving them features of both. Now, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found clouds on one of these ...

The sun has unleashed a volley of four powerful solar flares towards Earth, as scientists warn that they could wreak havoc on radios and GPS satellites.

NASA has announced the discovery of an Earth-like planet orbiting a Sun-like star that shares several other similarities with ...

A newly identified Earth-sized exoplanet with a year-long orbit may lie near its star’s habitable zone, but extreme cold could limit its chances of hosting liquid water.
