NASA Juno Mission Uncovers Subtle Geometric Shifts That Challenge Existing Models of the Jovian Interior
Scientists have refined Jupiter’s size and shape using modern radio signal observations, finding the giant planet slightly smaller and more flattened than earlier estimates. Though the difference is only a few kilometres, researchers say it greatly improves models of Jupiter’s interior, gravity, and atmospheric structure, offering deeper insigh...

Jupiter Is Smaller and Flatter Than Previously Thought, NASA's Juno Reveals
New data from NASA's Juno spacecraft shows that Jupiter is smaller and flatter than previously believed.

Scientists Reveal Why Jupiter and Saturn’s Polar Weather Looks So Different
Although Jupiter and Saturn are similar gas giants, their polar weather patterns are strikingly different. Saturn hosts a single, massive hexagonal storm at its north pole, while Jupiter features a central cyclone surrounded by smaller vortices. New simulations suggest the contrast may arise from differences deep inside the planets. A denser, “ha...

Neutrino Detectors May Unlock the Search for Light Dark Matter, Physicists Say
Physicists now believe that massive neutrino detectors—built to observe rare solar and cosmic particles—could also detect extremely light dark matter that traditional experiments miss. By monitoring subtle annual variations in their background signals, observatories like JUNO and Borexino may open a new frontier in uncovering the universe’s m...

China’s Massive JUNO Experiment Delivers Its First World-Class Neutrino Results
China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory has delivered world-class results after only 59 days of data collection, achieving the most precise measurements yet of two major neutrino oscillation parameters. JUNO’s early performance surpasses all previous experiments, confirming a small but intriguing discrepancy between solar and reactor ...

NASA’s Juno Probe Faces Silence as Mission Ends Amid Government Shutdown
NASA’s Juno probe, orbiting Jupiter since 2016, may have stopped operating after its latest extension expired during the U.S. government shutdown. The mission, which unveiled Jupiter’s interior, polar storms, and moons, awaits confirmation—though NASA cannot verify its status until funding and communications resume.

NASA's Juno Probe Unlocked Mysteries Of Jupiter, But It May Already Be Dead
The mission was extended until September 2025, allowing for additional orbits and flybys of Jupiter's moons like Ganymede, Europa and Io.

NASA’s Juno Spacecraft Detects Callisto’s Aurora, Completing Jupiter’s Galilean Moons Set
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has captured Callisto’s elusive auroral footprint, completing the “family portrait” of Jupiter’s Galilean moons. Each moon carves its own aurora into the gas giant’s poles, revealing how they interact with Jupiter’s powerful magnetosphere. Callisto’s faint arc appeared during a 2019 flyby, finally confirming i...

Researchers Discover New Plasma Wave in Jupiter’s Auroral Skies
Scientists at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities have detected a new plasma wave in Jupiter’s aurora using NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The finding, published in Physical Review Letters, reveals how Jupiter’s magnetic field shapes auroral activity differently from Earth. The study opens new directions for understanding planetary auroras and m...
