The first impact occurred at 20:13 UTC on July 16, 1994, when fragment A of the [comet's] nucleus slammed into Jupiter's southern hemisphere at about 60 km/s (35 mi/s). Instruments on Galileo detected a fireball that reached a peak temperature of about 24,000 K (23,700 °C; 42,700 °F), compared to the typical Jovian cloud-top temperature of ...

At one point, the two may fall into sync, at which time Jupiter's constant gravitational tugs could accumulate and pull Mercury off course, with 1–2% probability, 3–4 billion years into the future. This could eject it from the Solar System altogether [1] or send it on a collision course with Venus, the Sun, or Earth. [10]
Jupiter is the most massive planet in the Solar System, and because of its large mass it has a vast sphere of gravitational influence, the region of space where an asteroid capture can take place under favorable conditions. [123] Jupiter is able to capture comets in orbit around the Sun with a certain frequency. In general, these comets travel ...
As night falls, Jupiter will rise in the east-northeast, among the stars that make up the constellation of Taurus, according to NASA. Around Dec. 14, Jupiter will be visible in the night sky ...
Jupiter might have shaped the Solar System on its grand tack. In planetary astronomy, the grand tack hypothesis proposes that Jupiter formed at a distance of 3.5 AU from the Sun, then migrated inward to 1.5 AU, before reversing course due to capturing Saturn in an orbital resonance, eventually halting near its current orbit at 5.2 AU.
Capricorns kick off the new year, and according to renowned astrologer Susan Miller, the 10th zodiac sign has plenty to look forward to. Born on December 27, Timothée Chalamet ended 2024 on a ...
2010 Jupiter impact event. The impact happened 3 June 2010, and was recorded and first reported by amateur astronomer Anthony Wesley from Australia. The event was confirmed by Christopher Go at the Philippines, who recorded the event and released a video. [2] [3] [4] Wesley is the same person who had been first to report the 2009 Jupiter impact ...
