A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

Scientists now believe that solar bursts hit the largest planet of our solar system two to three times a month.

"The solar wind squished Jupiter's magnetic shield like a giant squash ball. This created a super-hot region that spans half ...

A solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere created a hot region spanning half Jupiter's circumference.

How can the solar wind influence Jupiter’s massive magnetic field? This is what a recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...

A high temperature band the size of multiple Earths has been captured on Jupiter for the first time. Scientists believe the heat was due to solar winds squeezing the magnetic field, and this may ...

The new Webb data strongly suggest that the HR 8799 planets developed much like Jupiter and Saturn. These young giant planets ... have these huge planets acting like bowling balls running through your ...

It's so massive that it could hold everything else in the solar system, minus the sun. Like the sun, Jupiter is a ball of mostly hydrogen and helium. It was probably the first planet to form.

Jupiter is a massive ball of gas. Its clouds are composed of ... The largest moon in the solar system, Ganymede is also the only moon known to have its own magnetic field. Volcanoes rage on ...
