While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

Jupiter, roughly 562 million miles from Earth today, has nearly 100 moons. But Batygin and his collaborator Fred Adams' research focused on two of the smaller ones, Amalthea and Thebe. Both are inside ...

A recent study found that Jupiter was once twice the size that it is now, making it big enough to swallow up 2,000 Earths.

The moons orbit unusually close to Jupiter and follow slightly inclined paths. By analyzing these orbits, the researchers were able to trace the historical position of Io, Jupiter's innermost ...

Stunning new Jupiter photos from NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveal storms, cloud bands, and its volcanic moon Io as the mission ...

These smaller moons have curiously tilted orbits, and their paths around the planet seem to hold clues about how Jupiter and its bevy of moons moved in the past, Batygin told Mashable. As Io ...

Jupiter may have once been more than twice its current size, with a magnetic field 50 times stronger, say scientists who ...

Jupiter's magnetic field was also much more powerful at that time, about 50 times stronger than it is today. While Io is among the most well-known of Jupiter's 95 moons, the duo instead studied ...

Amalthea and Thebe are both small and irregularly shaped. They also orbit Jupiter more closely than Io, the closest of Jupiter's four Galilean moons. Matching Amalthea's and Thebe's tilted orbits ...

Jupiter Power on Friday confirmed that it has decided to halt development of a large battery storage plant it planned for the waterfront in Glenwood Landing, a move that drew cheers from ...
