Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.
Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.
The simultaneous eruption of multiple volcanoes suggests a vast, interconnected network of magma exists beneath the surface, ...

New study shows how Jupiter's moon Europa gets life-supporting nutrients for its ocean
How nutrients from Europa's icy shell reach its ocean has been unclear despite several theories.
Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.
Reanalysis of NASA’s Galileo mission data has revealed ammonia on Europa’s surface for the first time. The nitrogen-rich compound appears along cracks in the ice, suggesting recent transport from the ...
Scientists studying Jupiter and Saturn’s polar storms suggest their dramatic differences arise from deep interior properties. Simulations show that “harder” or “softer” gas layers beneath the storms ...
There’s no mistaking Jupiter in the sky these Shamokin winter evenings, rising in the southeast as evening twilight ends. In ...
According to the study, this process could be an effective way to transport surface material to the ocean beneath Europa.
The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
