A new study challenges the idea that Jupiter's dilute core was formed by a massive impact, suggesting instead that it developed gradually during the planet's formation, a theory supported by similar structures observed in Saturn and implications for exoplanets.
New research suggests Jupiter's core was formed gradually through planetary growth rather than by a giant impact, revealing a dilute core structure that blends into surrounding layers, challenging previous theories and providing insights into planetary formation processes.
A Durham University study using supercomputer simulations suggests that Jupiter's dilute core was not formed by a giant impact, but likely resulted from the planet's gradual absorption of materials during its formation, challenging previous theories about its interior structure.
