In a new study published in Science Advances, a team led by planetary scientist Chris Moeckel from UC Berkeley offers a ...

NASA's Juno revealed mushballs on Jupiter, reshaping our understanding of deep, violent gas giant storm systems.

Imagine a Slushee composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted ...

Scientists have discovered that during storms on Jupiter, ice balls containing ammonia and water fall. This unusual ...

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 ...

Jovian storms can rework the whole chemical makeup of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by picking up ammonia from and dropping it somewhere else. It would appear that a really big storm on Jupiter can ...

"The solar wind squished Jupiter’s magnetic shield like a giant squash ball," O'Donoghue said. "This created a super-hot region that spans half the planet. Jupiter's diameter is 11 times larger than ...

In their study published in Science Advances, Chris Moeckel, Imke de Pater, and Huazhi Ge analyzed data from multiple sources focused on a major storm that occurred on Jupiter starting in 2016.

But this study shows that solar wind can spread energy far beyond those areas, changing the way heat moves through Jupiter’s ...

An intrepid NASA probe orbiting Jupiter has beamed home humanity's closest-ever views of one of the most recognizable features in the solar system: the Great Red Spot. The 10,000 mile-wide storm ...

Jupiter's most recognisable feature - its Great Red Spot - is getting smaller. The Great Red Spot is the biggest, and longest-lasting storm in our Solar System, and has been studied from Earth for ...
