New computer simulations suggest that the hellish planet next door could have been habitable in the not - too - distant past, with moderate temperatures, plenty of seaside locales and even a few spots for skiing. (sciencenews.org)
New computer simulations show that although binary star formation takes long enough to allow planets to form too, the environment remains unfavorable due to high temperatures and other conditions. (lanl.gov)
That's the surprising outcome, presented here today at the European Planetary Science Congress, of new computer simulations that show how Jupiter regulates the number of comets impacting our planet. (sciencemag.org)
