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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Jupiter sets record after 12 new moons discovered Jupiter's dazzling auroras are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth, new images from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal.

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.

There is an “energy crisis” on Jupiter. At 800K (527ºC), its upper atmosphere is 600 degrees hotter than expected – a phenomenon also seen on the other giant planets in our solar system. And to make ...

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 ...
