One of these dwarf planets actually orbits in between Mars and Jupiter. Its name is Ceres. This little rock is around 590 miles (950km) long and its days are roughly nine Earth hours. Since Ceres ...

NASA's Juno revealed mushballs on Jupiter, reshaping our understanding of deep, violent gas giant storm systems.

Jovian storms can rework the whole chemical makeup of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by picking up ammonia from and dropping it somewhere else.

A bizarre hailstorm of icy “mushballs” — slushy mixtures of ammonia and water — has been confirmed on Jupiter, where intense ...

Hubble Space Telescope images of Jupiter have been "photo-mapped onto a sphere," and animated into a full rotation, according to ESA/NASA. Credit: Space.com | NASA, ESA, J. DePasquale (STScI), A. Simo ...

Scientists at the University of Reading have discovered a solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere—a protective bubble created by a planet's magnetic field.

Scientists now believe that solar bursts hit the largest planet of our solar system two to three times a month.

Juno is scheduled for an upcoming flyby of Jupiter on May 7, during which it is set to carry out a close approach of the ...

In their study published in Science Advances, Chris Moeckel, Imke de Pater, and Huazhi Ge analyzed data from multiple sources focused on a major storm that occurred on Jupiter starting in 2016.

This is what we have on the giant planets." Processes like rain and storms are believed to be the main vertical mixers of planetary atmospheres. For decades, it had been assumed that Jupiter's ...

This is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as an international team of researchers investigated how the solar wind causing significant heating at Jupiter’s ...
