Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...

Jupiter and Saturn host some of the strangest weather in the Solar System, and nowhere is that more obvious than at their ...

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

In a new study published in The Planetary Science Journal, scientists from the University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on ...

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 ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope has captured auroras on Jupiter that have hundreds of times more energy than those here on Earth. Jupiter's auroras are like the "Northern Lights, but way bigger!" NASA ...

Caltech researchers have developed a new simulation of the hydrological cycle on Jupiter, modeling how water vapor condenses into clouds and falls as rain throughout the giant planet's swirled, ...

The atmospheres of alien planets can now be probed even if they are not illuminated by stars directly behind them, astronomers say. A new method used to scan the atmosphere of a distant "hot Jupiter" ...

The giant planet Jupiter is back in our evening sky this week. Fresh from its opposition with the sun on Jan. 10, it now lies as close to the Earth as it ...
