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

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

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

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

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

We're now able to see what Jupiter's atmosphere looks like and it is stunning. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new image ...

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 ...

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, ...

Jupiter’s skies can glow with lights more intense than anything on Earth. Its polar auroras shine when charged particles crash into its upper atmosphere, creating bursts of heat and energy. These ...

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 ...

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 ...

There’s no mistaking Jupiter in the sky these Pottsville winter evenings, rising in the southeast as evening twilight ends.
