Gas Giants in Our Neighbourhood
The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|March 26, 2025
Scientists estimate there are ~1 septillion (1 followed by 24 zeros) planets in the observable universe.
This figure is based on current research, which constantly expands with new discoveries. These celestial bodies are found across billions of galaxies, with most orbiting their own star systems, while some are also classified as rogue planets—interstellar objects of planetary mass which are not gravitationally bound to any star.
The Solar System is dominated by two planets—Jupiter and Saturn—whose imposing appearance has captivated stargazers ever since they could be viewed from Earth. If even dwarf planet Pluto was counted, Jupiter would literally find itself in the centre of all the planets put together, and accordingly, it holds much significance in the workings of the Solar System. A singular important similarity between Jupiter and Saturn is their planetary categorization—Gas giants.
