Caltech and Michigan scientists say early Jupiter was at least double its current size.

The primitive version of the gas giant could have held 8,000 Earths within it.

The scientists looked at how Jupiter ’s moons move through space and how the planet spins.

The study rewinds the clock to just 3.8 million years after the first solid objects formed in the solar system.
