The planet Jupiter is putting on quite a show in our night sky this month, and you don't need any special equipment to enjoy ...

For generations, Jupiter has been shorthand for a straightforward idea: the biggest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.

Jupiter is already the biggest planet by far in our solar system, but new research suggests it was somehow once even larger than it is now. Twice as large, in fact. To put that into context, those ...

Jupiter, the giant planet, appeared to align closely with the full Wolf moon, creating a stunning celestial display visible ...

There’s no mistaking Jupiter in the sky these Pottsville winter evenings, rising in the southeast as evening twilight ends.

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.

An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.

Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

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 ...
