In our solar system, Jupiter is king. It’s far larger than the other planets in our system and it absolutely dwarfs Earth. But in the grand scheme of things, Jupiter isn’t really all that impressive. It’s big, sure, but compared to other gas giants in our neck of the galactic woods, it’s just a little fella.
Researchers using data from the Gaia sky survey have identified a gas giant not far from Earth that puts Jupiter to shame. It’s not just a little bit bigger than our nearby gas giant… it’s roughly ten times the size. Yeah, it’s huge, and it’s only around 330 light years from Earth.
