But the effect is even more intense on Jupiter, thanks to the influence of the gas giant's absolutely ungodly magnetosphere. At approximately 15 times wider than the Sun — and about 20,000 times ...

Jupiter's dazzling auroras are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth, new images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal. The solar system's largest planet displays striking ...

JunoCam, the visible light imager aboard NASA's Juno spacecraft, captured this view of Jupiter's northern high latitudes during the spacecraft's 69th flyby of the giant planet on Jan. 28 ...

The findings, which come after Juno has flown close to the planet to peer under its cloud-covered atmosphere, shed light on Jupiter's fierce winds and violent cyclones. On the fiery Io ...

The idea of mushballs was initially put forth in 2020 to explain nonuniformities in the distribution of ammonia gas in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere that were detected both by NASA’s Juno mission and by ...
