What the Solar System Actually Looks Like

Beyond the limits of the rocky inner planets lies a realm of monumental proportions and eternal cold. In this journey, we explore the gas and ice giants that define the outer reaches of our solar system, from the immense gravitational influence of Jupiter to the lonely silhouette of Pluto. We analyze the latest data from NASA’s Juno and the European Space Agency’s JUICE missions to understand why Jupiter is considered our silent guardian.
