On March 1, 2023, NASA’s Juno mission completed its 49th close flyby of Jupiter. As the spacecraft flew low over the giant planet’s cloud tops, its JunoCam instrument captured this look at ...

Dr Eichstädt's animated short reveals a pass made at an altitude of 8,410 miles (13,536 kilometers) above Jupiter's billowing cloud tops while zooming past on its 43rd flyby. "The Juno mission ...

20, when it dipped close to Jupiter's cloud tops. The first mission to orbit an outer planet from pole to pole, Juno is armored with a titanium radiation vault to help protect it against Jupiter ...

Astronomers have calculated that the gas giant Jupiter used to be twice as big as it is now, based on the odd orbits of two ...

Jupiter, roughly 562 million miles from Earth today, has nearly 100 moons. But Batygin and his collaborator Fred Adams' ...

At a wavelength of 2.12 microns, which observes between altitudes of about 12-21 miles above Jupiter’s cloud tops, researchers spotted several wind shears, or areas where wind speeds change with ...

The absence of this gas in pockets of Jupiter's atmosphere has perplexed scientists for years. Decades ago, astronomers spotted intensely turbulent cloud tops in telescope images of the gas giant.

Per NASA, the image was taken from approximately 4,800 miles above Jupiter's cloud tops. And though the whole half-covered-in-darkness thing certainly adds to the creepiness of the face ...

These mushballs are created by thunderstorm clouds located around 40 miles (64 kilometers) beneath Jupiter’s cloud tops. The thunderstorm clouds carry water ice all the way up toward extreme ...

Jupiter is unlikely to be unique ... show that this simple assumption is false. "The turbulent cloud tops would lead you to believe that the atmosphere is well mixed," said Moeckel, invoking ...
