NASA Hubble observations from late 2023 to early 2024 document measurable size, shape, and motion changes in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot over one oscillation cycle.
Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.
Jupiter’s most famous storm is slimming down, spinning up and behaving in ways that challenge what scientists thought they ...

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.
Scientists have measured that Jupiter releases more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, based on observations of its structure, rotation, and atmospheric behavior.
If you’ve been seeing an unusually bright ‘star’ in the sky recently, it’s actually Jupiter, which will shine at its brightest on January 10.
The abundance of oxygen inside Jupiter is a major, unsolved problem. For decades, researchers have argued about this value, ...
