Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on ...

Beneath Jupiter's swirling clouds, the planet's internal composition has remained difficult to probe until now. A recent ...

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

Jupiter and Saturn host some of the strangest weather in the Solar System, and nowhere is that more obvious than at their ...

The abundance of oxygen inside Jupiter is a major, unsolved problem. For decades, researchers have argued about this value, ...

Scientists have measured that Jupiter releases more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, based on observations of its structure, rotation, and atmospheric behavior.

Caltech researchers have developed a new simulation of the hydrological cycle on Jupiter, modeling how water vapor condenses into clouds and falls as rain throughout the giant planet's swirled, ...

Upon entering Jupiter's orbit in 2016, NASA's Juno spacecraft provided us with an intimate look at the largest planet in our solar system. Four years later, the probe continues to shed light on the ...

The giant planet Jupiter is back in our evening sky this week. Fresh from its opposition with the sun on Jan. 10, it now lies as close to the Earth as it ...
