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

Jupiter harbors more oxygen than the sun, a new study finds, giving astronomers a crucial clue about how our solar system's ...

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, ...

A peculiar class of meteorites has offered scientists new clues about when the planet Jupiter took shape and wandered through the solar system. Scientists have theorized for years now that Jupiter ...

New research using detailed atmospheric models shows Jupiter contains excess oxygen, helping explain its origins and deep atmospheric dynamics ...

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.

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, ...
