This view of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere from NASA’s Juno spacecraft includes several of the planet’s southern jet streams.

They focus on our star, but three of NASA’s Sun-watching spacecraft have also captured unique views of the planets.

Images of Jupiter’s hot spots are key to understanding the role of storms and waves in Jupiter’s atmosphere.

The spacecraft will become an explorer of the full Jovian system – Jupiter and its rings and moons.

Some of Juno's latest findings touch on "hot spots" in the planet's atmosphere.

A planet in an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away may offer a clue to a mystery closer to home: the hypothesized "Planet Nine."

Plumes of water vapor that may be venting into space from Jupiter's moon Europa could come from within the icy crust itself, according to new research.

New experiments re-create the environment of Europa and find that the icy moon shines, even on its nightside. The effect is more than just a cool visual.

New results from NASA's Juno mission suggest that either "sprites" or "elves" could be dancing in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter.

The Hubble image includes a new storm brewing on Jupiter, and a cousin of the famous Great Red Spot region gearing up to change color.

New results from the Juno mission suggest Jupiter is home to what's called "shallow lightning."

Researchers have designed an ambitious observing program that will conduct some of Webb's first scientific observations.

The next full Moon will be midday on Monday, August 3, 2020.
