A burst of solar wind triggered a planet-wide heatwave in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere, say astronomers at the University in ...

Large hailstones made of ammonia may explain why the gas is missing from large pockets of Jupiter's atmosphere.

Scientists spent four years challenging an out-of-the-box theory that ammonia and water form slushy hailstones on the gaseous planet. Looks like it’s true.

In 2020, astronomers detected WD 1856+534 b, a gas giant that orbits a star 81 light-years from Earth. This exoplanet, which ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. The discovery stemmed from an unusual temperature pattern scientists observed ...

This created a hot region spanning half Jupiter's circumference and exhibiting temperatures exceeding 500°C -- significantly higher than the typical 350°C atmospheric background temperature.

A recent discovery of a unique exoplanet continues to challenge our understanding of solar system dynamics as a recent study ...
