giant planets exist in our solar system — from 5 to 40 astronomical units radius.
If these giant moons around
giant planets exist, they might already be present in the available data of NASA's Kepler space telescope, or they could be detectable with the European Space Agency's upcoming PLATO space mission and European Southern Observatory's ground - based European Extremely Large Telescope.

exists still they have nothing to do with a mythology created for those who choose to be unaccountable for their part in our future.
Life as we know it could not
exist on the gas -
giant planet, and its nearby suns would incinerate any cities all on their own.
Extremely low temperatures on
planets like Neptune — called ice
giants — mean that chemicals on these distant worlds
exist in a frozen state, researchers say.
This week, a ground - based radio telescope has revealed that, beneath a veil of haze and clouds on Jupiter, there
exists a
giant wave of ammonia that circles the
planet north of its equator.
We assumed habitable
planets couldn't
exist in solar systems where gas
giants ricochet around.
Perhaps the most striking thing about
Planet 9 is not that it (probably)
exists, but that nobody has found it yet: a
giant body, circling right in our celestial backyard, sight unseen.
Simulations of the conditions in the Alpha Centauri star system suggest Earth - like
planets might
exist there, but gas
giants are unlikely
If the
giant planet announced this week actually
exists, we can already explain how it got there - and how it solves a mystery about the worlds we see around other stars
Lawrence Livermore scientists for the first time have experimentally re-created the conditions that
exist deep inside
giant planets, such as Jupiter, Uranus and many of the
planets recently discovered outside our solar system.
Although northern lights also
exist on
giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn, the newly discovered aurorae are thousands of times more powerful; furthermore, the same electrons that trigger these aurorae may drive weather patterns on brown dwarfs, some of which have clouds.
«Systems like those that we investigated, and moon systems orbiting a habitable - zone
giant planet, are among the few scenarios where life — intelligent life in particular — could
exist in two places at the same time and in the same system.»
NASA is particularly interested in identifying
planets one half to twice the size of Earth — terrestrial
planets rather than the gas or ice
giants or hot - super-Earths in short period orbits that evidence suggests
exist in large numbers — especially ones that are located in the habitable zone of their stars.
We are entering a scientific era in which we have the capability to detect not only
giant planets the size of Jupiter, but Earth - sized
planets in the habitable zones of their solar systems, the locations where liquid water can
exist.
Past radial velocity analysis suggests that
giant planets of one tenth to 10 times the mass of Jupiter do not
exist within 0.1 to four AUs of 37 Gem (Cummings et al, 1999).
Past radial velocity analysis suggests that
giant planets of one tenth to 10 times the mass of Jupiter do not

Past radial velocity analysis suggests that
giant planets of one tenth to 10 times the mass of Jupiter do not
exist within 0.1 to four AUs of 15 Sge (Cummings et al, 1999).
The
planet should be rocky — life as we know it can not
exist on a gas
giant, for example — it needs an atmosphere capable of supporting life and it should be in the habitable zone of the solar system.
Warm dense matter
exists in the cores of gas
giant planets and the preliminary stages of nuclear fusion, among other inaccessible places.
Both games feature a «Commander» unit, a
giant mecha, which uses atomic - level manufacturing to build an entire economy on far - off
planets literally from the ground up, which is an interesting inversion on how mecha usually are used in games: the «Commander» is more or less the player character, and while their large mecha is by no means weak, it's a central unit because of its production capabilities, and not because of its arsenal, which as a mecha fan I always thought was a nice way to work the idea of a «hero mecha» into an RTS, because you can relate to the Commander mecha's role as, well, a Commander on the battlefield rather than as simply a powerful named «hero» unit as
exist in most other RTSes.
It remains to be demonstrated how anyone in their right mind could assume without solid proof that humans have the capacity to halt the warming of the inter-glacial period in which we presently
exist, hope to halt the next and inevitable multi-million year ice age, or halt the inevitable warming of the entire
planet as the Sun continues to increase its luminosity towards becoming a
giant star.
