Juno Mission Sheds Light on Jupiter’s Storms and Volcanic Activity on Io
NASA’s Juno probe has uncovered colliding cyclones circling Jupiter’s north pole and flowing magma beneath the crust of its volcanic moon Io. Using thermal and microwave instruments, scientists have tracked atmospheric chaos and subsurface lava flows, offering new insights into the Jovian system’s extreme weather and volcanic activity. These ...

New Study Reveals How Jupiter’s Storms Hide Ammonia
A new study reveals Jupiter’s monster storms create mushballs—giant hailstones made of ammonia and water. This discovery explains the puzzling absence of ammonia in the planet’s upper atmosphere and suggests similar processes might be happening on gas giants across the universe.

Hubble Telescope Documents 10 Years of Dramatic Changes on Outer Planets
NASA’s Hubble Telescope has tracked atmospheric and seasonal changes on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune over ten years. Key findings include shifts in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, Saturn’s seasonal phenomena, Uranus’ polar brightness, and Neptune’s storm activity. These insights, part of NASA’s Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) p...

Massive Thunderstorms on Jupiter Could Change Its Colour and Appearance
Recent images of Jupiter reveal giant thunderstorms in the Southern Equatorial Belt. Reports suggest these storms, unleashing green lightning, could blend pale hues into the reddish-brown band, potentially causing it to vanish, as observed in prior events. Jupiter's storms remain visible for stargazers as it approaches Earth at its closest point.

Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
Magnetic tornadoes twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere create massive, Earth-sized anticyclonic storms in the planet's atmosphere. These dark ovals, detectable only in ultraviolet light, form dense hazes of aerosols stirred by swirling magnetic vortices. This phenomenon, visible at Jupiter's poles, was unveiled through data from the Hubble Spac...

NASA’s Juno Probe Captures Stunning Views of Jupiter’s Storms and Moon Amalthea
NASA’s Juno probe captured vibrant, high-contrast images of Jupiter’s stormy atmosphere and an up-close view of its moon, Amalthea, during the spacecraft’s 66th flyby on October 23. The images were processed by citizen scientists, enhancing the colours to showcase Jupiter’s unique cloud formations and highlighting details of Amalthea agains...

Hubble Space Telescope Finds Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Mysteriously Oscillating in Size and Speed
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured new images of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, revealing unusual behaviour in the massive storm. Known for its longevity, this storm has been raging for over 150 years. However, recent observations show the spot oscillating in both size and speed, a phenomenon that has left scientists puzzled.

James Webb Telescope Uncovers Strange Shapes Above Jupiter's Great Red Spot
According to NASA, the Great Red Spot is the largest storm in the solar system, twice as big as Earth, and is believed to have been raging for at least 300 years.

Mystery Behind Jupiter's Great Red Spot Unveiled
The location was 24,233 miles across in 1879, and it has gradually reduced to 8,700 miles in diameter currently, gradually taking on a rounder shape rather than an oval one.

NASA's Juno Spacecraft Captures Two Of Jupiter's Large Rotating Storms, See Pic
NASA informed that the image was acquired at 50 degrees 5 minutes north latitude, at an altitude of 3,815 miles (6,140 kilometres).

NASA's Hubble Shares Mesmerising Image Of Jupiter In Ultraviolet View
NASA said that the storm to the naked eye appears deeper in the UV image as high-altitude haze particles absorb light at these wavelengths.

"Painted By Van Gogh": NASA's Juno Mission Captures Powerful Storms Near Jupiter's North Pole
NASA on Sunday shared a striking image of our solar system's largest planet Jupiter. The "JunoCam instrument captured the striking view of vortices - hurricane-like spiral wind patterns - near Jupiter's north pole," the space agency said.
