Beneath Jupiter’s stormy clouds lies a world scientists have never directly seen, but new simulations are bringing it into ...
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 ...
What processes are responsible for shaping Jupiter and Saturn’s polar weather? This is what a recent study published in the ...
Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two ...
For over 50 years, we thought we knew the size and shape of Jupiter, the solar system's largest planet. Now, Weizmann ...
"I don't think anyone's made this connection between the surface fluid pattern and the interior properties of these planets." ...
A new computer model indicates Jupiter’s massive winds are generated from deep within the giant planet’s interior, a UCLA scientist and international colleagues report today in the journal Nature.
"Tidal heating plays an important role in the heating and orbital evolution of celestial bodies," said Alex Hayes, professor of astronomy. "It provides the warmth necessary to form and sustain ...
Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...
The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, ...
