Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm, which usually appears dark-red, can be seen shining a lurid blue color in an ultraviolet image of the planet.
NASA's mission to send a spacecraft to scour Jupiter's moon Europa for signs of life appears back on track after Hurricane Milton forced a delay.
The data used to create the image is from a Hubble Space Telescope project to capture and map Jupiter's superstorm system.
Since arriving at Jupiter in 2016, NASA’s Juno mission has revealed unexpected discoveries about the gas giant. From breathtaking images to groundbreaking science, here’s what Juno has uncovered.
With 2024 receding into the distance, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is already deep into a busy 2025. Early in the new year, the Eaton Fire came close to JPL, destroying the homes of more than 200 employees,
"There are still many things related to planetary formation and the early evolution of young planetary systems that we don't understand."
A groundbreaking study combining the efforts of amateur and professional astronomers has redefined our understanding of Jupiter's atmospheric clouds. Initially believed to be composed of ammonia ice,
The asteroid was first discovered last year on August 7, 2024. To rule out 2024 PT5 being space junk, scientists at NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) analysed its motion but the the effects were found to be too small for the object to be artificial, proving 2024 PT5 is most likely of natural origin.
Galileo Galilei's telescopic discovery of Jupiter's four moons in 1610 revolutionized astronomy and supported heliocentric theories. Subsequent centuries saw more moons discovered and a focus shift toward Europa,
The asteroid is estimated to be between 656 and 1,443 feet across, and will pass at 16 times the distance to the moon.
While the planets are technically always "aligned" along the same plane in our sky, seeing so many at once is a special opportunity
