The term gas giant was coined in 1952 by the science fiction writer James Blish [6] and was originally used to refer to all giant planets.It is, arguably, something of a misnomer because throughout most of the volume of all giant planets, the pressure is so high that matter is not in gaseous form.

The Apolaki Caldera is about 150 km in diameter, making it the largest known Caldera in the world, and 90 km larger than the Yellowstone Caldera. [2] Its monumental size suggests that the magnetic pulses associated with its formation have had a significant impact on the physics and chemistry in its region of the Pacific Ocean. [ 2 ]
The 79 new giant oil and gas fields discovered from 2000–07 tended to be located in similar tectonic settings as the previously documented giants from 1868–2000, with 36 percent along passive margins, 30 percent in rift zones or overlying sags (structures associated with rifts), and 20 percent in collisional zones.
The Philippines may have made its decision to invest heavily in natural gas in part on the advice of the U.S. Agency for International Development, which encouraged the expansion, arguing in a ...
An influential politician in the Philippines, who has been a cheerleader for natural gas power, is behind a company that planned to make a fortune from it, an Associated Press investigation of ...
The gas giants in our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — are much denser. This giant gas planet is as fluffy and puffy as cotton candy Skip to main content
HD 80606 b was discovered orbiting the star HD 80606 in April 2001 by a team led by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. [2] With a mass 4 times that of Jupiter , it is a gas giant . Because the planet transits the host star its radius can be determined using the transit method , and was found to be about the same as Jupiter's.
This was the first oil and gas platform to be designed and built in the Philippines, and its successful completion has made the country a player in construction for the oil and gas industry. The upstream component of the US$4.5 billion Malampaya gas-to-power project was expected to provide substantial long-term revenue of between $8 billion ...
