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, ...

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 ...

Jupiter's moon count reaches 95+ official satellites. Explore the history of the Jovian system, from Galileo to the latest NASA discoveries.

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, ...

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.
