Learn about the latest model of Jupiter's deep atmosphere that reveals how much oxygen the planet contains.
For centuries, Jupiter has looked like a planet of surfaces: swirling bands, violent storms and the famous red oval that dominates its face. Only in the last few years have scientists begun to see ...
The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...
Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.
Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.
"It really shows how much we still have to learn about planets, even in our own solar system." The post There’s Something ...
New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.
Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.
An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.
Scientists studying Jupiter and Saturn’s polar storms suggest their dramatic differences arise from deep interior properties. Simulations show that “harder” or “softer” gas layers beneath the storms ...
Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.
