A rare meteorite recovered from Alaska is prompting scientists to rethinkhow Earth got its water. New findings suggest our ...
The researchers argue that the Maryborough meteorite is much rarer than gold. In 2015, while prospecting in Maryborough Regional Park near Melbourne, Australia, David Hole discovered an unusually ...
Jupiter's influence on our Solar System dates back to a time when Earth was still just a cloud of dust and gas. Long before our planet took shape, the gas giant was already playing a decisive role in ...
New research from Rice University suggests that the giant planet Jupiter reshaped the early solar system in dramatic ways, carving out rings and gaps that ultimately explain one of the ...
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system (so large, in fact, that some scientists think it might have even consumed other worlds), a gas giant so massive that it shaped the orbits and ...
Scientists have pinpointed Jupiter's birth to 4.6 billion years ago, a mere 1.8 million years after the solar system's formation. This discovery, gleaned from studying chondrules within meteorites, ...
Four and a half billion years ago Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of small rocky and icy bodies similar to modern asteroids and comets, ...
Around 4.6 billion years ago, vast clouds of dust began to accumulate to form the solar system. Ancient asteroids such as Bennu contain the remnants of this formative moment, allowing scientists to ...
Scientists speculate that asteroids colliding with Earth delivered water—an essential building block of life—but new research suggests the planet didn't need the delivery. Reading time 3 minutes Water ...
