Big storms can strip some parts of Jupiter's atmosphere of ammonia, while leaving buried reservoirs of the gas elsewhere.

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.

For the first time, scientists observed a solar storm punching into Jupiter’s magnetic shield, creating a vast, scorching hotspot. Turns out, giant planets aren’t as invincible as we believed, and ...

This helps researchers improve space weather forecasting—not just for other planets, but also for Earth, where solar storms can disrupt satellites, GPS, and power grids. By studying Jupiter ...
