Jupiter the Gas Giant

2013
This chapter examines Jupiter's climate and what it reveals about the solar system. During its first 105 years, the solar system was a melting pot in which material from stars with different chemical compositions was blended together. The high temperatures resulting from the release of enormous amounts of gravitational potential energy aided the ...

Formation of gas and ice giant planets

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2002
Abstract Agreement about planetary formation processes deteriorates sharply with distance from the Sun. While the terrestrial planets are widely believed to have formed from the collisional accumulation of solid bodies, there are two competing mechanisms for the formation of the gas giant planets, basically ‘bottom-up’ or ‘top-down’.

It was 3:40 am Pacific daylight time, 25 August 1989. I had watched with fascination a video display of Voyager 2's radio signal after the spacecraft had passed through Neptune's thick atmosphere, and for the last 90 minutes I had been attempting to nap in a sleeping bag on the floor of my office at JPL. My computer had just awakened me with a reminder
