Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

Combined chemical and hydrodynamic modeling offers a powerful tool beyond Jupiter. Scientists can apply similar techniques to Uranus, Neptune, and gas rich exoplanets. Such planets remain difficult to ...

An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.

A paper led by Jeehyun Yang of UC and JPL, suggests that Jupiter contains 1.5x oxygen than the sun.

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

Jupiter’s vast, banded clouds have long obscured the true nature of the giant planet beneath, but a new atmospheric model is ...

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.

Towering clouds ripple across Jupiter's surface in dramatic patterns. Like Earth's clouds, they contain water, but on Jupiter they are far denser and ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...
