I love how #StarTrek uses #gasgiants in most of its adventures #StarFleetAcademy

The largest #GasGiants blur the line between planets and brown dwarfs. How do these large objects form? A team of researchers, led by the UC San Diego, used spectral data from #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope to find a surprising answer to this longstanding astronomical question. https://bit.ly/3Oe31OY

Bonus Throwback Thursday! A clip of a short, rare documentary on Robin (length 3:50) produced by Yurika Abe.

This clip was around from the Pharoahs 2000/Gas Giants era approximately 2000/2001.

Red Giant Stars Can't Destroy All Gas Giants. Some Are Hardy Survivors Astronomers haven't found many gas giants orbiting white dwarfs. But is that because they're so difficult to spot? Or is it because their survival rate is so low? New research probes the issue.

9/12 But here's the puzzle: chondrules of many different ages exist in meteorites, suggesting Jupiter's brief formation period couldn't explain them all.

The answer? Other gas giants like Saturn likely triggered their own chondrule-forming collisions.

What’s Really Inside Jupiter? New research challenges the long-standing idea that Jupiter’s unusual core was formed by a colossal planetary collision. Instead, scientists now believe its “dilute core”—a fuzzy mix of rock,...

Jupiter's larger past size wasn't from more mass. It was hotter and likely spinning faster in the early solar system, causing its atmosphere to be more expanded. #GasGiants 4/6

Fascinating Facts About Our Solar System The solar system is an incredible realm that encompasses the Sun, eight planets, five officially designated dwarf planets, hundreds of moons, and an endless array of asteroids and comets. Nestled within the Milky Way galaxy—characterized by its swirling, barred spiral arms—our solar system resides in a small segment known as the Orion Arm, or Orion Spur, situated between the Sagittarius and Perseus arms.
