These infrared images of Jupiter with color added were obtained by the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in 2016 and contributed to the new study. The colors represent temperatures ...

A four-decade-long study documenting temperatures in Jupiter’s atmosphere using NASA spacecraft has revealed unexpected behavior in the gas giant’s weather over time. NASA says the study is the ...

Jupiter may have formed in a shadow that kept the planet’s birthplace colder than Pluto. The frigid temperature could explain the giant world’s unusual abundance of certain gases, a new study suggests ...

Jupiter’s moon Io has revealed a breathtaking spectacle through the lens of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

A team of astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet. The fiery WASP-18b, a massive “ultra-hot Jupiter,” revealed striking temperature ...

A 3D map of planet WASP-18b reveals extreme heat zones and broken water vapor in its atmosphere for the first time.

Of all the types of exoplanets researchers have discovered in recent years with ever more powerful telescope technology, the so-called "hot Jupiters" might be the most interesting. They're not the ...

FORT BENNING, Ga. - Students in the Faith Middle School Science Club collected data about Jupiter that will aid NASA in its research of the planet. Using a radio telescope, students located Jupiter ...

The full-phase infrared light curves of low-eccentricity hot Jupiters show a trend of increasing dayside-to-nightside brightness temperature difference with increasing equilibrium temperature. Here we ...

Planetary scientists have recently drawn a connection between the birth of Jupiter and the formation zone of Earth, ...
