Astronomers may have solved the mystery of how hot Jupiter exoplanets are born, finding a gas giant with a weird orbit in the process of transforming into just such a world.

Wrong! Jupiter does not orbit around the sun. It is so big, so massive, that it orbits a different center of gravity or barycenter, than all the other planets in our solar system.

NASA launched its Jupiter-exploring Juno spacecraft on August 5, 2011, but thanks to some patriotic timing, it's arriving at the gas giant today on July 4th. That'll give space fans some ...

The orbit of the newfound exoplanet spotted with TESS may have been influenced by another planet. Astronomers have discovered a new "warm-Jupiter" planet with a strange, flattened and misaligned ...

Astronomers have discovered a new "warm-Jupiter" planet with a strange, flattened and misaligned orbit around its parent star. The exoplanet, designated TOI-1859 b, was discovered using NASA's ...
