Big storms can strip some parts of Jupiter's atmosphere of ammonia, while leaving buried reservoirs of the gas elsewhere.
A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.
The long-held assumption that Jupiter's iconic swirling clouds are made of frozen ammonia could be upended.
A pair of massive thunderstorms have been spotted swirling in Jupiter's "South Equatorial Belt" and are likely unleashing massive bolts of green lightning. Some experts think the pale clouds could end up altering the rusty band's color — and potentially even making it "disappear."
The gases in Jupiter's atmosphere should form white clouds, so why do they look red? Two teams have found different recipes for the red in the Great Red Spot
