Dazzling 'dawn storms' that illuminate Jupiter's poles are 10x more intense than the gas giant's regular auroras.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has once again delivered a stunning view of Jupiter’s ever-changing atmosphere. In this latest image, ...

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.

The perpetual storm, while it varies in subtle ways, appears relatively unmoving. “The winds on Jupiter keep it constrained between certain latitudes,” Verbiscer said. Jupiter is a gas giant, a ...

Massive Jupiter storm churns ammonia deep into planet's atmosphere. Apr 4, 2025. Mushballs stash away missing ammonia on Uranus and Neptune. Sep 16, 2021.

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 ...

But Jupiter’s mushballs could not be denied. New research confirmed the bizarre phenomenon not only exists—it could be taking place on all gaseous planets of the solar system.

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.

The atmosphere on Jupiter is radically different from that on Earth. It’s primarily made of hydrogen and helium gas with trace amounts of gaseous molecules, like ammonia and water, which are heavier ...

Jupiter is unlikely to be unique. "You can just extend that to Uranus, Neptune — certainly to exoplanets as well," de Pater said. The atmosphere on Jupiter is radically different from that on Earth.
