A new computer modeling provided a new explanation as to why the icy shell of Jupiter's moon, Europa, has an unusual motion/rotation. Scientist from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory present a video, 09 ...

Astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have measured the rotation rate of an extreme exoplanet by observing the varied brightness in its atmosphere. This is the first measurement of the ...

The rotation rates of giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are significantly faster than those of terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars). Determining the rotation rates of giant ...

One of the interesting facts about our Solar System is how fast different planets spin on their axis. Earth takes about 24 hours to make a full rotation, but some planets spin much quicker, making ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever spin measurements of HR 8799, the famed system that made history as the very first exoplanetary system to have its image taken. Discovered in 2008 by two ...

Next to the Sun and Moon, the celestial object with the greatest visible detail is Jupiter. Even small telescopes can immediately show the four Galilean satellites (the four moons of Jupiter ...
