Astronomers have discovered a “celestial highway” to travel through the Solar System much faster than was previously possible. The development raises the prospect of rapidly sending crafts across vast swathes of space. The extraordinary superhighway network was discovered by an international team of researchers from Serbia and the United States. The routes can transport comets and asteroids nearly... 

NASA has shared an incredible close-up portrait of Jupiter taken from the Juno probe during its fifth flyby of the giant planet. The snap was captured by the JunoCam on March 27, as the spacecraft completed its latest orbit, at a distance of about 12,400 miles (20,000km) from the massive planet. Social media users were quick to comment on the unusual shape of Jupiter in the image. However, NASA explained... 

Former Breitbart.com reporter Michelle Fields made headlines in March when she said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski grabbed her and threw her down on the ground after Donald Trump’s Jupiter, Florida victory speech. The Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor was in the room at the time and did not see the incident in question. He was the last reporter to film Corey closing up the event with... 

Jupiter’s large orbital journey across the early solar system may have cleared the way for the oddball arrangement of our planetary system, scientists say, even to the point of destroying burgeoning young planets. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology created a model for the formation of Jupiter and Saturn, dubbed ‘Grand Tack,’ which shows Jupiter’s migration towards... 

In this artist’s concept, the moon Ganymede orbits the giant planet Jupiter. New data suggests Jupiter’s moon Ganymede, the largest in the solar system, has an underground ocean which contains more water than all of Earth’s surface water combined, according to NASA. NASA scientists were able to use the Hubble Space Telescope to collect more than seven hours of data about the auroral belts... 

NASA gives go ahead for Europa mission as it announces funding for sending a probe to Jupiter’s icy moon, which has a high probability of harboring life in our solar system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) budget request for 2016 includes $30 million to send a spacecraft to examine Europa, NewScientist reported on Tuesday. “For the first time, the budget supports... 

Digitally re-mastered image of Jupiter’s moon Europa. There may exist life under the frozen surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa, says the US space agency. Fresh analysis of Hubble telescope data bolstered suspicions that under Europa’s icy shell there is a tidally-heated ocean of liquid water that could be capable of containing the building blocks of life. “For the first time in the history of... 

A stunning event captured by NASA’s Hubble Telescope shows a big black eye staring back from Jupiter’s Great Red Spot storm. In reality, it is shadow play on a planetary scale. The image was captured by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope as it tracked changes in Jupiter’s immense Great Red Spot storm, a storm that has been raging for over 300 years. The black eye is caused by the shadow of... 

Jupiter’s largest moon, Ganymede, from the Galileo and Voyager space missions show a bright flat surface. Ganymede, the largest moon in our solar system may possess ice and liquid oceans which scientists say are stacked up like a multi-layered club sandwich and may contain life. Scientists from a NASA-funded research team performed a computer modeling of Ganymede’s oceans, taking into account... 

A NASA spacecraft sees a volcanic explosion on Jupiter’s third-largest moon. Incredible footage of an eruption on Io, Jupiter’s third moon, considered the most volcanic place in the solar system, has been released by the US space agency. The video, taken by the New Horizons spacecraft, pictures a drama that unfolded more than 6.2 million km away from Earth back in 2007. NASA only made it public... 

NASA’s Dawn spacecraft heads toward the dwarf planet Ceres as seen in this undated artist’s conception released January 22, 2014. The dwarf planet Ceres, which is the biggest object in the asteroid belt lying between Mars and Jupiter, is spewing water vapor into space from its ice-covered surface, scientists say. Researchers detected plumes of water vapor, which periodically gushes from... 

Glowing a dark magenta, the newly discovered exoplanet GJ 504b weighs in with about four times Jupiter’s mass, making it the lowest-mass planet ever directly imaged around a star like the sun. Meet GJ 504b, a cute-looking Jupiter-sized planet, currently the lowest-mass celestial body outside of solar system, which astronomers managed to image directly. Glowing a dark magenta, the newly discovered... 

Scientists have uncovered evidence of small lakes existing 3km below the crust of Europa. Scientists have uncovered evidence of warmer water melting and fracturing the outer layers beneath the surface of Jupiter’s icy moon, Europa. The information comes from the unmanned Galileo spacecraft, which arrived at Jupiter and its moons in 1995. The results, published in the journal Nature, suggest that... 

Jumpin' Jupiter: The solar system's largest planet may well have knocked another giant into deep space The consensus among astronomers is that the solar system has always had four giant planets – Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. But now it’s claimed that it’s much more likely to have been home to a mystery fifth giant planet that got knocked out. Computer simulations by David Nesvorny... 

The newfound gas-giant planet TrES-2b is black with a slight red glow, experts estimate. Scientists have discovered a Jupiter-size gas giant planet in our galaxy, dubbed Coal-Black planet, as the darkest world in the universe, which reflects almost no light. Researchers indicate that the inky planet absorbs 99% of the light its star sends its way and reflects only one percent of the light that strikes...
