For generations, Jupiter has been shorthand for a straightforward idea: the biggest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant ...

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

An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.

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 ...

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

The weather forecast for Jupiter calls for clouds with a chance of lightning and "mushballs"—a slushy mix of ammonia and water encased in a hard water ice shell that rain down like hail here on Earth.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has once again delivered a stunning view of Jupiter’s ever-changing atmosphere. In this latest image, a trail of drifting clouds appears to form the shape of a dolphin gliding ...

WASHINGTON -- Scientists said they have found evidence of water in the atmosphere of Jupiter's icy moon "Europa." NASA said its Hubble space telescope observed the presence of persistent water vapor ...

Collaborative work by amateur and professional astronomers has helped to resolve a long-standing misunderstanding about the composition of Jupiter's clouds. Instead of being formed of ammonia ice -- ...

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" ...

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 ...
