The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...
Jupiter and Saturn's different polar storms reveal clues about planet interiors: Saturn has harder bottom than Jupiter.
When night falls on Jupiter, colossal storms rage across the gas giant, producing lightning bolts up to 100,000 times more ...
An atmospheric study reveals unexpected findings about our largest neighboring planet and the structure of its deep atmosphere.
Dazzling 'dawn storms' that illuminate Jupiter's poles are 10x more intense than the gas giant's regular auroras.
Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.
Thick, swirling clouds cover Jupiter from pole to pole. They hold water like Earth’s clouds, but at far greater density.
Scientists studying Jupiter and Saturn’s polar storms suggest their dramatic differences arise from deep interior properties. Simulations show that “harder” or “softer” gas layers beneath the storms ...
New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.
Scientists suggest that the contrasting polar weather on Jupiter and Saturn may be due to differences in their deep gas layers' hardness or softness.
