As per the study conducted by scientists at Ohio State University, these gas giants could form in just 1 to 2 million years, ...

The findings provide strong evidence that four giant exoplanets 130 light-years from Earth formed much like Jupiter and ...

This allowed for the formation of the gas giants—Jupiter and Saturn—and the ice giants—Uranus and Neptune—which contain significant amounts of these ices and gases. As planets formed and ...

Because gas giants pull in huge amounts of matter during accretion, their formation and migration through space also affects the development of rocky planets elsewhere in a protoplanetary disk.

Astronomers have captured direct images of exoplanets in a star system 130 light years away, providing clues on gas giant ...

It has a mass about 13 times that of Jupiter, and is thought to have the structure and chemical composition of a giant gas planet, though its true characteristics have not yet been determined.

The James Webb Space Telescope has directly observed the key chemical of carbon dioxide in planets outside of our solar system for the first time, scientists announced Monday. The gas giants are ...

which can reflect light and make planets easily detectable to astronomers. KELT-9b is not just your average "hot Jupiter" - a name given to gas giants that have an orbit shorter than 10 days.

The ringed gas giant Saturn has officially replaced Jupiter as the planet in our solar system with the most moons. The International Astronomical Union officially recognized 128 new moons orbiting ...

"We have been waiting for 10 years to confirm that our finely tuned operations of the telescope would also allow us to access the inner planets. Now the results are in, and we can do interesting ...

Many protoplanetary disks in which new planets are formed are much smaller than thought. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) scientists of the Leiden Observatory (the ...
