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

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

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

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

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, ...

We're now able to see what Jupiter's atmosphere looks like and it is stunning. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A new image ...

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 ...

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 ...

As our biggest planet, Jupiter's immense presence helps to hold our solar system together. Its massive size and gravitational pull give it a dense atmosphere, a turbulent mix of hydrogen and helium.

There’s no mistaking Jupiter in the sky these Pottsville winter evenings, rising in the southeast as evening twilight ends.
