Unlike earlier studies, which often examined chemistry and atmospheric motion separately, the new simulations combined both.

What processes were responsible for Jupiter’s formation? This is what a recent study published in Scientific Reports hopes to address as an international pair of scientists investigated the physical, ...

While Io, the most volcanically active moon in the solar system, appears completely dry and devoid of water ice, its neighbor ...

Four and a half billion years ago Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of small rocky and icy bodies similar to modern asteroids and comets, ...

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 ...

While Io, the most volcanically active moon in the solar system, appears completely dry and devoid of water ice, its neighbor Europa is thought to harbor a vast global ocean of liquid water beneath ...

Scientists have measured that Jupiter releases more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, based on observations of its structure, rotation, and atmospheric behavior.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The NASA spacecraft tasked with uncovering the secrets of Jupiter, king of the planets, is running out of time. The Juno probe has ...

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.
