Scientists may have solved a chemistry mystery about Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa
A long-standing mystery about the presence of hydrogen peroxide on Jupiter's icy ocean moon Europa may be closer to being solved.
‘Chaos’ reigns beneath the ice of Jupiter moon Europa, James Webb Space Telescope reveals
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are painting a new picture of Jupiter's moon Europa and revealing the hidden chemistry of the icy moon's interior.
Jupiter used to be twice as big as it is now — it could have held 2,000 Earths
A new study reveals early Jupiter was twice its current size with a magnetic field 50 times stronger.
JWST watches auroras on Jupiter glow hundreds of times brighter than those on Earth (video)
The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its infrared eyes toward Jupiter, capturing auroras hundreds of times brighter than those on Earth glowing on the gas giant's poles.
Cyclones on Jupiter and a moon with flowing magma: NASA Juno probe’s latest discoveries are awesome
NASA's mission to Jupiter has revealed new findings about the giant planet and its volcanic moon.
Major storms on Jupiter can leave a fingerprint in the planet’s atmosphere
Big storms can strip some parts of Jupiter's atmosphere of ammonia, while leaving buried reservoirs of the gas elsewhere.
Powerful solar winds squish Jupiter’s magnetic field ‘like a giant squash ball’
A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.
An amateur astronomer used an old technique to study Jupiter — and found something strange
The long-held assumption that Jupiter's iconic swirling clouds are made of frozen ammonia could be upended.
New thunderstorms wider than Earth are spewing out green lightning on Jupiter — and could make one of the gas giant’s massive bands disappear
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."
We may know why Jupiter’s Great Red Spot is red instead of white
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
