Weather on Jupiter may have some surprising similarities to Earth phenomena, but some things it does defy easy explanation.

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

The result is that deep within Jupiter's atmosphere, there are patches of ammonia that fell as mush balls from storms raging dozens of miles above – and that ammonia will stay buried down there ...

A bizarre hailstorm of icy “mushballs” — slushy mixtures of ammonia and water — has been confirmed on Jupiter, where intense ...

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 ...

“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 ammonia is ...

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 ...

Ian Randall is Newsweek's Deputy Science Editor, based in Royston, U.K. His focus is reporting on science and health. He has covered archeology, geology, and physics extensively. Ian joined ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that crosses the planet's equator, or equatorial zone (EZ). Blue and red ...
