Dive deeper into Jupiter’s core, where temperatures soar and pressures reach millions of times Earth’s atmosphere. Explore the layers of rock, ice, and metallic hydrogen, and uncover theories about ...

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.

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 ...

Jupiter is a massive, terrifying planet. Despite being studied for centuries and even visited by nine space probes in the ...

NASA's Juno mission has provided its first science results on the amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere. Published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy, the Juno results estimate that at the ...

Jupiter’s atmosphere is a dynamic laboratory where complex interactions between rapid rotation, deep internal convection, and magnetic forces produce a rich tapestry of weather phenomena. Chief among ...

Large hailstones made of ammonia may explain why the gas is missing from large pockets of Jupiter's atmosphere. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

Plasma waves are a critical element to understanding the many mysteries of the gas giant’s turbulent, magnetically powerful atmosphere, the researchers say. Reading time 3 minutes Since entering ...

A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that crosses the planet's equator, or equatorial zone (EZ). Blue and red ...
