Spectacular clouds swirl across the surface of Jupiter. These clouds contain water, just like Earth's, but are much denser on the gas giant—so thick that no spacecraft has been able to measure exactly ...

Is the gas giant about to have a close encounter of the 3I kind? Harvard scientist Avi Loeb claims that 3I/ATLAS’ bizarre trajectory suggests that it’s sending “satellites” to Jupiter to gather intel ...

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS is expected to make its closest pass of the Earth just under a month from now, coming within around 170 million miles of us. Three months later, it’s expected to get even ...

New research from Rice University suggests that the giant planet Jupiter reshaped the early solar system in dramatic ways, carving out rings and gaps that ultimately explain one of the ...

Jupiter is not quite as large as astronomers thought, according to the first measurements of its radius taken in more than 40 years. Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn’t have a solid outer surface like ...

New research suggests a giant impact may not have been responsible for the formation of Jupiter’s core. Most planetary scientists thought that a colossal collision with an early planet containing half ...
