Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, named after the Roman mythological king of the gods. The gas colossus Jupiter is a stormy enigma, wrapped in colourful clouds whipped by powerful winds that sweep beneath rings and moons. Jupiter is massive: it has more than twice the mass of all the other planets in the solar system combined. The Great Red Spot, its largest and most famous storm, is twice the width of the Earth. Jupiter's four large moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, helped to revolutionise the way we saw the universe — and our place in it — in 1610, when Galileo discovered them. These were the first observations of celestial bodies circling an object other than Earth, and they supported the Copernican theory that Earth was not the centre of the universe.

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that even light cannot escape. Because matter has been compressed into a small space, gravity is extremely strong. This can occur when a star dies. People cannot see black holes because no light can escape. They are unnoticed. Space telescopes equipped with specialised tools can aid in the discovery of black holes. Special tools can observe how stars in close proximity to black holes behave differently than...

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest and most massive planet in the solar system. Venus is the closest large body to Earth other than the Moon; at its closest, it is the closest large body to Earth. Venus' orbit is closer to the Sun than Earth's, so the planet is always roughly in the same direction in the sky as the Sun and can only be seen near sunrise or sunset. It is the most brilliant planet in the sky when visible. The planet Venus is represented by the symbol ♀.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the solar system's second-largest planet. It's the farthest planet from Earth visible to the naked eye, but its most notable features — its rings — are best seen through a telescope. Although the other gas giants in the solar system, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, all have rings, Saturn's rings stand out the most, earning it the moniker "Ringed Planet."

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only known astronomical object to support life. While there is a lot of water all over the Solar System, only Earth has liquid surface water. The ocean covers roughly 71% of the Earth's surface, dwarfing polar ice, lakes, and rivers. The remaining 29% of the Earth's surface is land, which consists of continents and islands. The surface layer of the Earth is made up of several slowly moving tectonic...
