A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that ...

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

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

Some weather, however, emerges much deeper in the troposphere, redistributing ammonia and water and essentially unmixing what was long thought to be a uniform atmosphere. The three types of weather ...
