Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...

Large hailstones made of ammonia may explain why the gas is missing from large pockets of Jupiter's atmosphere.

A sudden flash of light in 2020 caught the attention of astronomers scanning the sky. That brief signal, spotted by Caltech’s ...

These spectacular lights resemble those seen on Earth, where they're generated when energetic particles interact with our planet's magnetic field, but Jupiter's auroras are believed to proceed ...

Imagine giant slushy hailstones made of ammonia and water wrapped in a shell of ice, plunging through Jupiter’s atmosphere in ...

One such moment was when space craft sent back images of the Earth for the first time. Another is the discovery of life on ...

The idea that these “mush balls” were even real was offered as a reason why there was not uniformity in the distribution of ammonia gas in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere–an inconsistency spotted by NASA’s ...

It would appear that a really big storm on Jupiter can leave a noticeable mark in the planet's atmosphere. A recent study tapped into data collected by the Jupiter-orbiting spacecraft Juno and the ...

An AI algorithm designed to look for planetary systems that could host Earth-like, habitable zone planets, has found 44 candidates.

Imagine a Slushee composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted ...
