Largest Solar System

According to NASA, the Great Red Spot is the largest storm in the solar system, twice as big as Earth, and is believed to have been raging for at least 300 years.

Researchers described the planet as "Io on steroids". Io, Jupiter's third largest moon, is the most volcanic body in our solar system, with every inch of its surface covered in lava plains.

NASA on Friday launched a spacecraft from Florida on its way to Psyche, the largest of the several metal-rich asteroids known in our solar system and a body thought to be the remnant core of an ancient protoplanet.

NASA is set to reveal on Wednesday the first images of the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, something scientists hope will yield clues about the earliest days of our solar system and perhaps the origins of life itself.

NASA on Sunday shared a striking image of our solar system's largest planet Jupiter. The "JunoCam instrument captured the striking view of vortices - hurricane-like spiral wind patterns - near Jupiter's north pole," the space agency said.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter has captured images of portions of the Martian Valles Marineris, the largest system of canyons in the Solar System. Valles Marineris, like many other geological features on the red planet, dwarfs all terrestrial analogues.

Tata Power Solar Systems on Saturday said it has commissioned India's largest floating solar power project of 101.6 Megawatt Peak (MWp) in Kerala backwaters.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and has a mass that is 2.5x more than all the other planets put together. Scientists have finally managed to determine where this metal in Jupiter originated from – other terrestrial planets that Jupiter consumed before they managed to fully form. 

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has determined that the nucleus of comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein) as the largest ever found. The estimated diameter of this comet's nucleus is approximately 80 miles across, and the mass of this comet's nucleus is around 500 trillion tons.

From our Moon to Mars to Jupiter, researchers are baring all guns to find more about the world around us. While the current focus is on the Moon and Mars, there already is a probe orbiting Jupiter. Named Juno, the probe's goal is to understand the origin and evolution of the solar system's largest planet.

A giant comet is heading toward the solar system. The comet, named Bernardinelli-Bernstein (BB), was discovered earlier this year and will reach its closest approach to the Sun in 10 years from now, around 2031.

Astronomers have found the first evidence of water vapour in the atmosphere of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System. They believe Ganymede may hold more water than all of Earth's oceans.

NASA's Juno will come within 645 miles (1,038km) of Jupiter's largest moon Ganymede and gather significant observations. On Monday, June 7, at 1:35pm EDT (11:05pm IST), the flyby will be the closest a spacecraft has come to the solar system's largest natural satellite since NASA's Galileo in May 2000.

Skoda Auto Volkswagen India Private Limited (SAVWPL) will be setting up one of the largest solar-power rooftop systems in India at its Chakan-based facility, the company has announced. The German auto giant has partnered with Amp Energy to install a total of 25,770 photovoltaic panels that will cover up to 15 per cent of the site's annual electrici...

The largest of Saturn's many moons has lakes, mountains and dunes, with its surface scarred and crafted by many of the same forces which have shaped Earth, scientists said Monday.
