NGC 3242 (also known as the Ghost of Jupiter, Eye Nebula or Caldwell 59) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Hydra.. William Herschel discovered the nebula on February 7, 1785, and catalogued it as H IV.27.
HD 106906 b is a directly imaged planetary-mass companion [2] and exoplanet orbiting the star HD 106906, in the constellation Crux at about 336 ± 13 light-years (103 ± 4 pc) from Earth. [5] It is estimated to be about eleven times the mass of Jupiter and is located about 738 AU away from its host star. [ 4 ]
HD 149026 b was the first of its kind: [20] HD 149026 b's low volume means that the planet is too dense for a Saturn-like gas giant of its mass and temperature. It may have an exceptionally large core composed of " metals ", or elements heavier than hydrogen and helium: [ 1 ] the initial theoretical models gave the core a mass of 70 times Earth ...
Jupiter may be best known as the planetary titan of our solar system with a comparatively small red mark — that still dwarfs the entirety of Earth — and rows of striations going from pole to pole.
A super Jupiter has been spotted around a neighboring star by the Webb Space Telescope — and it has a super orbit. The planet is roughly the same diameter as Jupiter, but with six times the mass.
HD 80606 b (also Struve 1341 Bb or HIP 45982 b) is an eccentric hot Jupiter 217 light-years from the Sun in the constellation of Ursa Major. HD 80606 b was discovered orbiting the star HD 80606 in April 2001 by a team led by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. [2] With a mass 4 times that of Jupiter, it is a gas giant.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has zipped past Jupiter's poles, watched its Great Red Spot churn, and visited its largest moon. 10 years after NASA launched its Juno mission to Jupiter, these are its most ...
HD 209458 b is an exoplanet that orbits the solar analog HD 209458 in the constellation Pegasus, some 157 light-years (48 parsecs) from the Solar System.The radius of the planet's orbit is 0.047 AU (7.0 million km; 4.4 million mi), or one-eighth the radius of Mercury's orbit (0.39 AU (36 million mi; 58 million km)).
