A Baby Planet May Have Once Smashed Into Jupiter - SciShow News

The video discusses Jupiter's significant impact on its surroundings and the Juno spacecraft's mission to study its interior. Juno's data revealed unexpected findings about Jupiter's core, suggesting a past collision with a massive object. Simulations support this hypothesis, but alternative explanations are also considered. The video also explores the search for Earth-like exoplanets, highlighting the challenges in estimating their abundance due to data biases. Researchers use innovative methods to overcome these biases, suggesting a significant number of Earth-like planets in the galaxy.
