(1) The object was the gas giant Uranus.

(2) This gas giant world looms at over 3500 times the moon's distance away.

(3) Tyche is the nickname given to a hypothesized gas giant planet located in the Solar System's Oort cloud.

(4) Not only is the planet a gas giant similar to Jupiter or Saturn, the planet follows an orbit that brings it very close to its parent star.

(5) So far it's found one gas giant, but it is hoped that it will start seeing lots more over the next two years or so.

(6) The sixth planet in this system is a gas giant.

(7) This is a transitional planet somewhere between a gas giant and what we've been hoping to find.

(8) This outer planet is a gas giant, like Jupiter or Saturn or Uranus.

(9) Many are bigger than the gas giant Jupiter, but astronomers have found an increasing number of worlds close to Earth's mass, some of which may be habitable.

(10) Juno will also help determine if Jupiter, a gas giant, has a solid core.

(11) It may also rain rocks and be the core of a vaporized gas giant.

(12) Once the mass goes beyond that point, you start to get into gas giant territory.

(13) To evolve into our current solar system, the original version probably had a fifth gas giant, computer simulations indicate.

(14) Caption: Fragments of Comet Shoemaker - Levy slam into the gas giant Jupiter in 1994.

(15) If a protoplanet was large enough, soon enough, its gravity would pull in the nebular gas, and it would become a gas giant.

(16) Today (top left), for example, the gravity of the gas giant Neptune creates gaps by tugging at the icy dust and debris of the Kuiper belt, which orbits just beyond the planets.

(17) The research is based on surveys of stars with gas giant planets—similar to Jupiter and Saturn—that orbit far from their stars.

(18) That's because planets bound to a parent star would only reflect the survivors, not how many gas giant planets actually formed.

(19) Kepler's data suggest that the new planet is a Saturn-like gas giant without a solid surface.

(20) Jupiter is highest, near the top of the frame, but even the solar sytem's ruling gas giant is outshone by brilliant Venus near picture center.

(21) SunPower, which was bought in April by Total, an oil and gas giant, for $1.4 billion, can also count on good credit lines and access to markets.

(22) A space ark with a small population of refuges might be dispatched to find shelter on a moon of one of the system's gas giant outer planets.

(23) If a protoplanet was large enough, soon enough, its gravity would pull in the nebular gas, and it would become a gas giant. If not, it would remain a rocky or icy body. Sentencedict.com

(24) The name originates from the 18th century, when telescopes weren't powerful enough to distinguish nebulae from gas giant planets.

(25) The most likely explanation for the comet-like feature is that the star's solar wind—actually a stream of charged particles—is evaporating the gas giant a bit at a time, astronomers say.

(26) Moving on through the asteroid belt we enter the realms of the gas giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, all of which dwarf the Earth.

(27) Just look at the eye-popping gains that oil and gas giant PetroChina netted on its first day of trading in Shanghai last month.

(28) But while the distant world is approximately the size of Jupiter, its close-in orbit makes it much hotter than our solar system's ruling gas giant.

(29) Carbon dioxide, one of the telltale signs that a planet may be able to support life, has been spotted in the atmosphere of a gas giant orbiting a star 63 light years from Earth.
