Through the use of the electromagnetic spectrum, especially infrared, NASA scientists have peered deeper into Jupiter’s atmosphere than ever before. This technology exposes complex cloud ...

The recipe for the distinctive colour of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot has long been a mystery, but now researchers have an idea of how it got so red. Start with an ammonia-rich cloud deck and add ...

This ‘family portrait’ shows a composite of images of Jupiter, including it’s Great Red Spot, and its moons (NASA/JPL/DLR) From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The ...

As with so much else, no one knows the source of these breathtaking hues. But one clue came in 2019, when researchers found a way to recreate the spot’s color spectrum in the lab. Based on their ...

New discoveries about Jupiter could lead to a better understanding of Earth's own space environment and influence a long-running scientific debate about the solar system's largest planet.

Juno’s 1.7-billion-mile journey to Jupiter began in August 2011. The GIF below traces the path Juno took on its journey. You’ll see that about two years into its flight, the orbiter passed ...

Figure 1: Colour maps of Jupiter's synchrotron emission taken by the Cassini spacecraft show the distribution of the ultra-relativistic electrons in Jupiter's inner radiation belts. Figure 2 ...

In the above photo, Juno — 5,500 miles above Jupiter — is looking at waves of clouds made out of ammonia and ice. You can make out details as small as 4 miles across, NASA reports. (The space ...

EARLY observations of the decametric radio emissions of Jupiter appeared to show that they had a narrow spectrum with a peak in the vicinity of 20 Mc./s. (refs. 1 and 2). As a result there were ...
