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.

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 ...

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 ...

IMAGE: Artist’s impression of the exoplanet WASP-121 b. It belongs to the class of hot Jupiters. Due to its proximity to the central star, the planet’s rotation is tidally locked to its orbit around ...

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 ...

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 ...
