Beneath Jupiter's swirling clouds, the planet's internal composition has remained difficult to probe until now. A recent ...
Far from Earth, a small robotic explorer has just delivered a surprise that planetary scientists have never seen up close ...
"I don't think anyone's made this connection between the surface fluid pattern and the interior properties of these planets." ...
Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two ...
Scientists have measured that Jupiter releases more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, based on observations of its structure, rotation, and atmospheric behavior.
Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on ...
Meanwhile, Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb, who flagged at least 16 anomalies on 3I/ATLAS has reiterated intensive monitoring ...
Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.
Astronomers may be just weeks away from an unprecedented opportunity to learn more about our solar system’s interstellar visitor. Reading time 3 minutes As interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS hurtles through ...
NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has captured ultraviolet images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing hidden chemical ...
By contrast, Saturn's atmosphere is layered more deeply. There, either weaker forcing reduces deep turbulence, or more energy ...
NASA has released the first close-up images ever taken of Jupiter's north pole. They were photographed by the Juno spacecraft now in orbit around the gas giant. The north pole looks totally different ...
