Astronomers have observed with unprecedented precision a massive star in the midst of cosmic feasting. This discovery offers ...
It is the largest object in the Solar System, but recent studies suggest it was once even twice as large as it is today.
The data revealed that gas from HW2's accretion disk is collapsing inward at breakneck speed, feeding the star at an ...
Astronomers from the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) and elsewhere, report the discovery of a new 'warm Jupiter' exoplanet orbiting a rapidly rotating F-type star. The newfound ...
Near-infrared data from Jupiter is difficult to work with because of how fast the planet is rotating, according to NASA. But with some digital adjustments, Schmidt and other image processors got ...
Abstract: Jupiter’s rapidly rotating, strong magnetic field provides a natural laboratory that is key to understanding the dynamics of high-energy plasmas. Spectacular auroral x-ray flares are ...
So (JUICE will) study Jupiter, its atmosphere, its weather, its strong, rotating magnetic field, the volcanic moon Io, the other moons in the system and how all these bodies are connected to each ...
The deep red storm is a cyclone, meaning that it is rotating counterclockwise in Jupiter's northern hemisphere, while its paler companion is an anticyclone, which is rotating in a clockwise direction.
Stunning patterns in Jupiter’s atmosphere have been replicated more accurately than ever before in the lab – using a rotating tub filled with water. Michael Le Bars at Aix-Marseille University ...
