To better understand Jupiter’s primordial stages, researchers turned to the tiniest of the planet’s 92 known moons. Almathea and Thebe respectively circle Jupiter at slightly tilted orbits roughly 112 ...

During this planetary formation process, it has long been hypothesized that planets collect volatile elements such as hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and noble gases from the solar nebula that ...

Billions of years from now, as our Sun approaches the end of its life and helium nuclei begin to fuse in its core, it will bloat dramatically and turn into what’s known as a red giant star.

Mass-shedder The dominant theory of planetary nebula formation previously involved only a single star – the red giant itself. With only a weak gravitational hold on its outer layers, it sheds ...

The snapshots show the planetary nebula in the constellation Lyra in unprecedented detail. In addition to the main ring, halo and the interior filled with hot gas, the star that ejected the ...
