NASA Confirms Existence of More Than 5,000 Exoplanets Beyond Our Solar System
NASA has said that these exoplanets include small, rocky worlds like Earth and “super Earths” which are larger than our own. There are also gas giants several larger than Jupiter and “mini-Neptunes.” Some of these planets orbit two stars at once and others stubbornly revolve around the collapsed remnants of dead stars.

NASA Says Data From Cassini Probe May Help Explain Saturn's Atmospheric Mystery
The upper layers in the atmospheres of gas giants -- Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune -- are hot, just like Earth's. But unlike Earth, the Sun is too far from these outer planets to account for the high temperatures. Their heat source has been one of the great mysteries of planetary science.

This Is What A Raging Storm On Jupiter Looks Like, Courtesy NASA
NASA's Juno spacecraft beamed back a stunning image of a massive, raging storm in Jupiter's northern hemisphere, captured by the probe during its ninth close flyby of the gas giant planet. The image was taken on October 24, when the spacecraft was about 10,108 kilometres away from the tops of the clouds of Jupiter

Mysterious Eclipses Point To Giant Ringed Jupiter-Like Planet
Scientists have found evidence of a giant ringed gas planet which may be up to fifty times more massive than Jupiter, orbiting a star over thousand light years away from Earth.
