Jupiter's Great Red Spot is even more of a towering tempest than astronomers previously suspected. Images and other data from NASA's Juno spacecraft released this week show that the solar system's ...

With Juno traveling low over Jupiter's cloud deck at about 130,000 mph (209,000 kph) Juno scientists were able to measure velocity changes as small 0.01 millimeter per second using a NASA's Deep ...

With that said, the 3D imagery is already producing a more cohesive picture of how jovian planets like Jupiter behave. It might not take much more effort to solve more of Jupiter's mysteries.

Recommended Videos Jupiter’s atmosphere is home to huge storms which are warm and thinner on top, and cooler and denser at the bottom. These epic cyclones go as deep as 60 miles into the atmosphere.

From the observations, researchers were able to derive the first 3D map of Jupiter's atmosphere, the results have been published throughout several papers in the two recent issues of the Journal ...

Juno has also taught us that Jupiter's magnetic field is around 10 times stronger than any found on Earth, showed its atmosphere to be asymmetrical, and captured stunning imagery of the planet and ...

A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that crosses the planet's equator, or equatorial zone (EZ). Blue and red ...

“Now, we’re starting to put all these individual pieces together and getting our first real understanding of how Jupiter’s beautiful and violent atmosphere works — in 3D.” ...

Unlike the Earth, Jupiter’s atmosphere lacks a surface, so could be considered as a bottomless abyss. Juno has three ways to peer down beneath the maelstrom of these cloudy upper layers.

NASA will hold a briefing Thursday (Oct. 28) with fresh information about how the atmosphere of Jupiter works beneath the giant planet's colorful clouds.
