Jupiters

As a result, ultrahot Jupiters’ daysides broil in a perpetual high noon.

Astronomers were surprised by these " hot Jupiters ", because theories of planetary formation had indicated that giant planets should only form at large distances from stars.

At 10AM, October 28, Kennedy first learned of Khrushchev's solution to the crisis: Remove the 15 Jupiters in Turkey and Russia will remove the rockets from Cuba.

But eventually more planets of other sorts were found, and it is now clear that hot Jupiters make up the minority of exoplanets.

Hot Jupiters were, until the advent of space-borne telescopes, the most common form of exoplanet known, due to the relative ease of detecting them with ground-based instruments.

If "hot Jupiters" did exist in close orbit they would likely disrupt the star's habitable zone ; their exclusion was thus considered positive for the possibility of Earth-like planets.

Kennedy had deployed the Jupiters in March of the year, causing a stream of angry outbursts from the Soviet premier.

These are called hot Jupiters and hot Neptunes because they have very high surface temperatures.
