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

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

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

The idea of mushballs was initially put forth in 2020 to explain nonuniformities in the distribution of ammonia gas in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere that were detected both by NASA’s Juno mission and by ...
