The formation of our solar system from a singular nebula raises an intriguing question: why did each planet develop with a ...

"The climate of this planet is extreme and nothing like that of Earth. The planet's dayside is so hot that elements typically thought of as 'metal' are vaporized into the atmosphere." ...

As the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter reflects a lot of the Sun’s light even though it is more than five times ...

MUSE uses the power of spectroscopy, where Jupiter's gases create telltale fingerprints in visible light at different wavelengths, to map the ammonia and cloud heights in the gas giant's atmosphere.

Jupiter has been retrograde in the sign of the twins since October. Retrogrades turn our energy inward, while a planet’s ...

MUSE uses spectroscopy to detect unique light patterns created by gases in Jupiter’s atmosphere. By simulating light interactions with gases and clouds, the team determined that the clouds form ...

"Astronomers will always assume a simple model unless there is overwhelming evidence that this simple model is flawed." Scientists and amateur astronomers have teamed up to upend a long-held ...

The data used to create the image is from a Hubble Space Telescope project to capture and map Jupiter's superstorm system.

Nearly one third of known exoplanets are enormous gas giants, similar to Jupiter or Saturn. But whereas our solar system ...

NASA’s Juno mission found Io’s biggest volcanic eruption ever. The explosion was stronger than all Earth’s power plants ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped a stunning image of a cloud on Jupiter shaped like a dolphin, proving that even science has an ...

MUSE uses the power of spectroscopy, where Jupiter’s gases create telltale fingerprints in visible light at different wavelengths, to map the ammonia and cloud heights in the gas giant’s ...
