Jupiter, the giant of our solar system, is home to a variety of fascinating phenomena. Among these, the Great Red Spot (GRS) ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered into the atmosphere of a cosmic body that could be a rogue planet or a "failed star." Either way, the world wanders the cosmos ...

The gas giant WASP-121b, also known as Tylos, has an atmospheric structure unlike any we have ever seen, and the fastest winds on any planet ...

The dividing line between gas giant planets and failed stars is blurry at best. The isolated planetary-mass object SIMP J013656.5+093347.3 could be either one. The distinction is largely semantic.

The world’s premier space observatory has spotted a mysterious and huge, free-floating planetary-mass object that’s “just 20 light-years from Earth,” NASA announced. Researchers recently used the ...

WASP-121b is an "ultra-hot Jupiter," a class of large gas planets that orbit close to their host star, making them extremely hot. Its atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium ...

According to a new paper published in the journal Nature, astronomers have mapped the 3D structure of the layered atmosphere of one such ultra-hot Jupiter-size exoplanet, revealing powerful winds ...

Using data collected by NASA's Juno spacecraft as it flew past Jupiter's highly volcanic moon Io in late 2023 and again in ...

The spacecraft will also explore Jupiter's complex environment and its system (atmosphere, ring system, and magnetic environment) as a model for other gas giants in our solar system—these being ...

Juno's mission, launched in 2011, aims to study Jupiter's atmosphere, composition, and massive storms, providing new insights into the gas giant's mysteries. We've all laid back on a warm day and ...
