Jupiter and Saturn have strikingly different polar storms. Scientists suggest these swirling vortices may reveal what lies ...

Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on ...

New calculations reported by Live Science indicate Jupiter was once much larger and is still contracting as it cools, offering constraints on early solar system conditions.

The wolf moon is spectacular enough, but look east and you’ll see a celestial titan the size of a pinprick ...

The Juno spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter has a suite of science instruments which will investigate the existence of a possible solid planetary core, map Jupiter’s intense magnetic field, measure the ...
