NASA's Juno spacecraft swooped in for a close look at a massive thunderstorm on Jupiter, revealing that it may have ...

Centuries ago, a huge red spot on Jupiter vanished. But years later, a new one was born. Today we know this conspicuous feature as the "Great Red Spot," a swirling storm wider than Earth.

Astrophysicists recently discovered that Jupiter's Great Red Spot is extremely hot. This new discovery could help explain a mystery that's plagued scientists for decades. Read more about the ...

2024 — Astronomers have observed Jupiter's legendary Great Red Spot (GRS), an anticyclone large enough to swallow Earth, for at least 150 years. But there are always new surprises -- especially ...

If we lived on Jupiter — where a single storm has been raging uninterrupted for almost two centuries, and possibly much longer — we’d have to muster more patience. But perhaps we wouldn’t have to wait ...

From the Giant Red Spot to its large ocean-bearing moons, we know a lot about Jupiter already, but there's still a lot more to discover. Launched in April 2023 and expected to reach Jupiter by ...

A total lunar eclipse occurs this month. Venus transitions from evening to morning, while Mars and Jupiter dominate the late ...

Simulations of Jupiter’s South Tropical Disturbance (STrD) created a storm resembling the GRS. The STrD likely trapped winds, forming an elongated cell that shrank and became the GRS observed today.
