Moons orbiting rogue planets, worlds flung from their parent star systems into the cold of interstellar space, could maintain ...

Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) probe is on its (very long) way to Jupiter, and will finally arrive at the King of Planets ...

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how Jupiter reacts to its moons through auroral footprints, plasma interactions, and rapid electron flows detected in infrared measurements.

Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.

Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.

There is a category of planet that belongs to no star. It was thrown clear of its solar system early in the chaos of ...

While Jupiter's main aurora has a great deal of hot materials, a snapshot showed a cold spot in Io's auroral footprint.

Latest observations of L98-59d, about 35 light years from Earth, suggest it could be different to anything seen before ...

Scientists have identified a potential new type of planet that has a sulphurous atmosphere and magma oceans evocative of earthly visions of hell. The world known as “ L 98-59 d ” appears to differ ...

The findings suggest that the gas giant's atmosphere reacts instantly to activity involving its orbiting moons.

An international team of scientists, led by PhD researcher Katie Knowles from Northumbria University, has made groundbreaking ...

North East researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to uncover unexpectedly complex behaviour in Jupiter’s northern lights.
