Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

In a new study published in The Planetary Science Journal, scientists from the University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion ...

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on ...

As our biggest planet, Jupiter's immense presence helps to hold our solar system together. Its massive size and gravitational pull give it a dense atmosphere, a turbulent mix of hydrogen and helium.

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...

Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...

The abundance of oxygen inside Jupiter is a major, unsolved problem. For decades, researchers have argued about this value, ...

Caltech researchers have developed a new simulation of the hydrological cycle on Jupiter, modeling how water vapor condenses into clouds and falls as rain throughout the giant planet's swirled, ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope has captured auroras on Jupiter that have hundreds of times more energy than those here on Earth. Jupiter's auroras are like the "Northern Lights, but way bigger!" NASA ...

The atmospheres of alien planets can now be probed even if they are not illuminated by stars directly behind them, astronomers say. A new method used to scan the atmosphere of a distant "hot Jupiter" ...

There’s no mistaking Jupiter in the sky these Pottsville winter evenings, rising in the southeast as evening twilight ends.
