Jupiter looks like a simple gas giant from afar, but NASA’s Juno probe revealed something far more complex beneath the clouds. This story dives into the hidden interior of the king planet and the ...

NASA’s Juno space probe has been circling Jupiter for the past 20 months, and it’s been transmitting scientific data back to Earth at a furious pace. Today, astronomers are releasing four new studies ...

A new computer model indicates Jupiter’s massive winds are generated from deep within the giant planet’s interior, a UCLA scientist and international colleagues report today in the journal Nature.

Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...

Beneath Jupiter’s stormy clouds lies a world scientists have never directly seen, but new simulations are bringing it into focus. Researchers have revealed that the gas giant holds more oxygen and ...

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, and a major component of stars such as the Sun, as well as gas-giant planets such as Jupiter and Saturn. In recent years, hydrogen’s behavior at ...

A new computer model indicates Jupiter's massive winds are generated from deep within the giant planet's interior, a UCLA scientist and international colleagues report. Massive east-west winds in ...
