Juno arrived at Jupiter on July 4, 2016, after a 5-year, 1.7-billion-mile journey, and settled into a 53-day polar orbit stretching from just above Jupiter's cloud tops to the outer reaches of the ...

The HST, at visible wavelengths, provided measurements of reflected light off the cloud tops, while the VLA, a radio telescope, probed tens of kilometers below the clouds to provide global context.

The jet stream is located over the equator, or center, of the planet. There are multiple bright white spots and streaks that are likely very high-altitude cloud tops of condensed convective storms.

The NASA Juno mission orbiting Jupiter has returned a spectacular new set of images after its most recent flyby of the giant planet's cloud tops.

Even the ghouls on Jupiter are out for Halloween! The Juno spacescraft captured a spooky image of a grimacing "face" in Jupiter's clouds.

This flattened map of Jupiter reveals the distribution of ammonia beneath the planet’s cloud tops, extending tens of miles below the visible cloud deck. Red regions indicate where ammonia is depleted, ...

That's because storms like those that create mushballs unmix the atmosphere so that the chemical composition of the cloud tops does not necessarily reflect the composition deeper in the atmosphere.
