Recent studies are changing what we know about the clouds of Jupiter, and the results are surprising. Amateur and professional astronomers have worked together to uncover that these clouds are not ...

Here’s how it works. Jupiter's chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms, in an area known as a folded filamentary region, shine in a photo captured by NASA's Juno probe on May 12, 2024.

While flying 4,800 miles above the Gas Giant's cloud tops on Sept. 7, NASA's Juno mission captured Jupiter's swirling storm clouds form what appears to be a ghoulish face.

Visible appearance of Jupiter and Saturn reconstructed from VLT/MUSE observations on 23 March 2020 and 6 April 2017, respectively. The left-hand column shows the reconstructed colors when no gamma ...

Right in time for the spookiest holiday of all, NASA is showing off an eerie photo of Jupiter's noxious clouds — which are scary enough on their own already, considering that they're jam-packed ...

The closest flyby so far took place on August 27, 2016, when Juno flew 4,200 kilometers (2,600 miles) above the planet's swirling clouds of gas at the gas giant's North pole.

Here’s how it works. Jupiter's chaotic clouds and cyclonic storms, in an area known as a folded filamentary region, shine in a photo captured by NASA's Juno probe on May 12, 2024.

Citizen science reveals that Jupiter's colorful clouds are not made of ammonia ice Date: January 6, 2025 Source: University of Oxford Summary: Collaborative work by amateur and professional ...

Vivid clouds swirl across Jupiter's skies like colorful brushstrokes across a painting in a new photo from NASA's Juno spacecraft. The image, taken during the spacecraft's 61st close flyby of Jupiter ...

Hence, the team conclude that the clouds of Jupiter really are at deeper pressures than the expected ammonia clouds at 700 mb and so cannot be composed of pure ammonia ice.

The new study “Clouds and ammonia in the atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn determined from a band-depth analysis of VLT/MUSE observations”, Patrick G.J. Irwin et al., has been published in the ...
