Jupiter has more oxygen than the sun, new simulations reveal

TL;DR


Summary:
- New computer simulations suggest that Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has more oxygen than the Sun. This is surprising because the Sun is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium.
- The simulations show that as Jupiter formed, it was able to capture more oxygen than the Sun, likely due to the planet's larger size and stronger gravity.
- This discovery about Jupiter's composition could help scientists better understand how planets form and evolve, and provide insights into the early history of our solar system.
