Previous examinations using ground-based tools as well as the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes indicated SIMP 0136 was potentially a brown dwarf —a cosmic body with the makings of a star that nonetheless fails to gather enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion.

If there was a contest for the most interesting moon in our solar system, Callisto would be a contender. Jupiter's second-largest moon has more impact craters on its surface than any other planetary body in the entire solar system and has tons of ice on its surface.

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet—a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar system—using a technique known as "transit timing variation."

The world’s premier space observatory has spotted a mysterious and huge, free-floating planetary-mass object that’s “just 20 light-years from Earth,” NASA announced. Researchers recently used the James Webb Space Telescope to study the atmosphere of this “Super Jupiter,” dubbed SIMP 0136.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft identifies over 40 enormous lava lakes on Io, shedding light on the extreme volcanism sculpting Jupiter’s moon.

Two incumbents are seeking second terms in Jupiter, where disputes over creating a fire department and preserving open land have fueled town meetings.

A Wendy's that opened more than 40 years ago in Jupiter will soon get a makeover. The fast-food restaurant on Indiantown Road near Jupiter High School opened in 1982. Jupiter had only 10,000 residents then, and Indiantown Road was two lanes wide in many areas.
