Astronomers have spotted some bizarre patterns in Jupiter's atmosphere, just above its famous Great Red Spot. The region was originally thought of as quite boring, but has now been discovered to ...

Storm warning on Jupiter A huge storm on Jupiter broke out in December of 2016, just south of the planet's equator and about 60 degrees east of the famous Great Red Spot. Amateur astronomer Phil ...

Storms on Jupiter form ammonia-rich hail — called mushballs — in the atmosphere of the giant planet, new research reveals. Investigators believe these tempests play an important role in ...

More It's hard to measure altitudes in Jupiter's atmosphere, because the planet doesn't have a surface in the usual sense (there's liquid somewhere below all those deep layers of gas, but it's ...

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 ...

In fact, Jupiter's atmosphere has dramatic weather and structures which scientists are still learning about — including a prevalence of strange objects called mushballs.

Astronomers have spotted gaseous carbon dioxide across the atmosphere of Jupiter’s second-largest moon, Callisto, hinting that it might have a much more complex carbon cycle than we thought. On ...

Researchers used Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, or NIRCam, to take a series of images of Jupiter 10 hours apart, applying four different filters to detect changes in the planet’s atmosphere.

Plasma waves that result from Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities can also be found in Earth’s atmosphere, but more form above Jupiter. It would still be impossible to ride an invisible wave.

On July 13, 1995, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft released the atmospheric entry probe that it carried. A.S.Ganesh tells you more about this mission with particular emphasis on the probe, which hit ...
