Based on the collected data, the scientists came to the conclusion that Jupiter could absorb planetasimals – the building blocks of the solar system.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew to the planet Jupiter and used the JunoCam camera to capture the closest images of the gas giant and its moon Io. This was reported by Forbes.
During the closest approach, the ship passed at an altitude of several thousand kilometers above the tops of the clouds.
Based on the collected gravitational data, the scientists compiled a map of Jupiter’s core, where they found large amounts of heavy material.
This suggests that the giant planet could consume planetasimals, the building blocks of the solar system, to help it grow.

It was previously reported that NASA was launching two sound rockets to determine if ultraviolet light coming from the stars of the Alpha Centauri system could potentially harm life on the planets.
NASA displayed travel posters and panoramas.
