Jovian storms can rework the whole chemical makeup of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by picking up ammonia from and dropping it ...

"Every time you look at Jupiter, it's mostly just surface level," Moeckel said. "It's shallow, but a few things -- vortices and these big storms -- can punch through." "Juno really shows that ...

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.

"Every time you look at Jupiter, it's mostly just surface level," Moeckel said. "It's shallow, but a few things—vortices and these big storms—can punch through." "Juno really shows that ...

Giant auroras, raging clouds and a storm three centuries in the making - our solar system's largest planet is every bit as dramatic as its tempestuous appearance suggests. Jupiter, the largest planet ...

Saturn may be famous for its rings, but Jupiter's most recognizable feature ... The spot, which is actually a massive storm that has been raging for hundreds of years, shrunk by 150 miles in ...

And the weather on Jupiter isn't any better. Of course, there's the Great Red Spot. A hurricane-like storm that's been raging for at least 300 years. But there's another storm on Jupiter that's ...

directly below it. This provides researchers with more evidence that this storm may last longer on Jupiter than most storms.
