New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

Combined chemical and hydrodynamic modeling offers a powerful tool beyond Jupiter. Scientists can apply similar techniques to Uranus, Neptune, and gas rich exoplanets. Such planets remain difficult to ...

Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years on Monday, according to NASA. The largest planet in our solar system, the gas giant will be at opposition, meaning Earth is directly between ...

If you thought the flickering green and red auroras of Earth were spectacular, that's nothing compared to Jupiter. New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have revealed that the ...

There are 79 known moons of Jupiter. What if we move Earth into its orbit too? How would Jupiter's super-strong gravity affect our lives? What would our skies look like? How long could you survive on ...

Auroras are not just on Earth. NASA has detected glowing northern and southern lights on Jupiter, Saturn, Mars and other ...

Not all of the solar system’s building blocks formed simultaneously. Some of the first solid bodies, or planetesimals, formed in the first million years after the Sun was born. Others, including the ...

The curious minds at What If investigate what would happen if Earth orbited Jupiter instead of the Sun, examining gravity, ...

Auroras are created when high-energy particles enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms or molecules of gas. On Earth, these are known as the northern lights (aurora ...
