Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.
The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, they spin at similar speeds, and radiate internal heat similarly. Heck, ...

Jupiter's and Saturn's distinct polar storms could reveal what hides within
The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, they spin at similar speeds, and radiate internal heat similarly. Heck, ...
Scientists studying Jupiter and Saturn’s polar storms suggest their dramatic differences arise from deep interior properties. Simulations show that “harder” or “softer” gas layers beneath the storms ...
New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.
Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.

Something bizarre is unfolding on Jupiter and it’s no longer acting like a planet
For generations, Jupiter has been shorthand for a straightforward idea: the biggest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant that quietly shepherds comets and anchors the outer worlds. That picture is ...
