New simulations suggest Jupiter holds far more water than once thought, reshaping ideas about how the largest planet formed.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and the fifth planet from the Sun. It is a massive gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same elements that form stars.

Combined chemical and hydrodynamic modeling offers a powerful tool beyond Jupiter. Scientists can apply similar techniques to ...

What processes were responsible for Jupiter’s formation? This is what a recent study published in Scientific Reports hopes to address as an international pair of scientists investigated the physical, ...

Jupiter’s swirling storms have concealed its true makeup for centuries, but a new model is finally peeling back the clouds.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has provided the most accurate measurements of Jupiter's size and shape, revealing it is slightly smaller than previously thought. This research enhances understanding of the ...

Four and a half billion years ago Jupiter rapidly grew to its massive size. Its powerful gravitational pull disrupted the orbits of small rocky and icy bodies similar to modern asteroids and comets, ...

While Io, the most volcanically active moon in the solar system, appears completely dry and devoid of water ice, its neighbor Europa is thought to harbor a vast global ocean of liquid water beneath ...

A peculiar class of meteorites has offered scientists new clues about when the planet Jupiter took shape and wandered through the solar system. Scientists have theorized for years now that Jupiter ...

Jupiter's moon count reaches 95+ official satellites. Explore the history of the Jovian system, from Galileo to the latest NASA discoveries.

New research from Rice University suggests that the giant planet Jupiter reshaped the early solar system in dramatic ways, carving out rings and gaps that ultimately explain one of the ...
