Jupiter

There is an as-yet-unseen population of Jupiter-like planets orbiting nearby Sun-like stars, awaiting discovery by future missions like NASA’s WFIRST space telescope,

Massive structures of moving air that appear like waves in Jupiter's atmosphere were first detected by NASA's Voyager missions during their flybys of the gas-giant world in 1979.

Recent research by a national team of scientists indicates that the giant gas planet might contain many times more water than Earth

One critical question has bedeviled astronomers for generations: Is there water deep in Jupiter's atmosphere, and if so, how much?

The formation mechanism of giant planets like Jupiter has been a hotly debated topic for several decades.

Scientists have helped to solve the mystery underlying Jupiter's coloured bands in a new study on the interaction between atmospheres and magnetic fields.

Magnetic fields around a planet or a star can overpower the zonal jets that affect atmospheric circulation.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, the most ambitious and complex space observatory ever built, will use its unparalleled infrared capabilities to study Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.

In a new paper, scientists from NASA’s Juno mission describe the ways in which lightning on Jupiter is actually analogous to Earth’s lightning. Although, in some ways, the two types of lightning are polar opposites.

The orange and white bands that characterize Jupiter's outer atmosphere extend thousands of miles into the gas giant's atmosphere.
