As on Earth, Jupiter's magnetic field converges at its poles, and as on Earth, this concentration of magnetic field lines drives charged particles toward the polar regions, where ...

Revealed in a paper published in the journal Icarus, a series of 3D simulations of the Great Red Spot and Jupiter’s atmosphere included interactions between it and smaller storms. The results ...

The NASA Juno spacecraft has once again amazed the world, capturing an extraordinary image of Jupiter’s atmosphere. This time ...

Aside from the bright northern and southern lights at the planet's polar regions, the glow from Jupiter's upper atmosphere is weak and is therefore challenging for ground-based telescopes to ...

The fifth planet from the sun, Jupiter is what watercolor dreams are made of. Vibrant bands of clouds ripple around its thick atmosphere, making up a world so large that more than 1,300 Earths ...

A primary objective of Juno's mission is to quantify Jupiter's water abundance by analysing oxygen and hydrogen molecules in its atmosphere. Recent data suggests that water abundance near Jupiter ...

The gassiest of all gas giants and the biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, is known for the storms raging across its surface — like the iconic Great Red Spot. And where there’s a ...

At the equator, water makes up about 0.25 per cent of the molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere -- almost three times that of the Sun, said the study published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
