system's largest planet is slightly less of a
giant than scientists once believed. Jupiter
is 8 kilometers narrower at its equator and 24
kilometers flatter at its poles than previously
estimated, according to a new study. These new
measurements overturn almost 50 years of consensus
about the size and shape of Jupiter. Yochai Caspi,
a professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science

to be updated. NASA's Juno mission has allowed
for clearer observations of Jupiter's size. This
