New research shows how Jupiter carved out rings and gaps that changed how and when planets and meteorites formed.

The early growth of the gas giant carved rings that formed primitive meteorites and shaped the architecture of the inner ...

Planetary scientists have recently drawn a connection between the birth of Jupiter and the formation zone of Earth, suggesting a shared origin in the early solar system. This revelation not only ...

An object eight times the mass of Jupiter may have swooped around the sun, coming superclose to Mars' present-day orbit before shoving four of the solar system's planets onto a different course. When ...

MIT scientists analyzed one of several particles (shown in black) from the asteroid Ryugu, and found evidence that a weak magnetic field likely existed in the outer solar system where the asteroid is ...
