Scientists Stunned as Earth’s Magnetosphere Shows Reversed Electric Charge Patterns
Scientists have discovered that Earth’s morning-side magnetosphere is negatively charged, overturning decades of assumptions about space electricity. Satellite data and simulations show the charge pattern flips near the equator but remains traditional at the poles. The breakthrough reshapes understanding of space weather and may also clarify elec...

Juno Mission Sheds Light on Jupiter’s Storms and Volcanic Activity on Io
NASA’s Juno probe has uncovered colliding cyclones circling Jupiter’s north pole and flowing magma beneath the crust of its volcanic moon Io. Using thermal and microwave instruments, scientists have tracked atmospheric chaos and subsurface lava flows, offering new insights into the Jovian system’s extreme weather and volcanic activity. These ...

Exoplanet WASP-121 b’s Atmosphere Features Iron Rains, Jet Streams, and More
Astronomers have uncovered extreme weather patterns on WASP-121 b, a gas giant 900 light-years from Earth. The planet experiences iron rain, with metals vaporizing on its scorching dayside and condensing into liquid at night. Supersonic winds carry elements across its atmosphere, forming powerful jet streams. Using the Very Large Telescope, researc...

Ammonium Hydrosulfide Identified as Primary Component of Jupiter’s Clouds, Not Ammonia
Jupiter’s clouds, long believed to be made of ammonia ice, are now confirmed to consist primarily of ammonium hydrosulfide combined with photochemical materials. This groundbreaking discovery, achieved through collaboration between amateur and professional astronomers, has redefined our understanding of the planet's atmosphere. Using innovative m...

Hubble Telescope Documents 10 Years of Dramatic Changes on Outer Planets
NASA’s Hubble Telescope has tracked atmospheric and seasonal changes on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune over ten years. Key findings include shifts in Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, Saturn’s seasonal phenomena, Uranus’ polar brightness, and Neptune’s storm activity. These insights, part of NASA’s Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) p...

Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims
Magnetic tornadoes twisting down from Jupiter's ionosphere create massive, Earth-sized anticyclonic storms in the planet's atmosphere. These dark ovals, detectable only in ultraviolet light, form dense hazes of aerosols stirred by swirling magnetic vortices. This phenomenon, visible at Jupiter's poles, was unveiled through data from the Hubble Spac...

Jupiter-Like Exoplanet With Iron Winds and Molten Metal Rain Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered that the exoplanet WASP-76b, located about 634 light-years away in the Pisces constellation, experiences extreme weather conditions unlike anything on Earth. With temperatures soaring to around 4,350 degrees Fahrenheit (2,400 degrees Celsius), the planet's atmosphere is ravaged by high-speed iron winds and molten metal r...

Jupiter's Mysterious High-Speed Jet Stream Unveiled By Webb Space Telescope
A wide high-speed jet stream, measuring over 3,000 miles (4,800 kilometers) in breadth, is positioned above Jupiter's equator, situated beyond the primary cloud layers.

Jupiter's North Pole Unlike Anything In Solar System
NASA's Juno spacecraft has sent back the first-ever images of Jupiter's north pole, which show storm systems and weather activity unlike anything previously seen on any of our solar system's gas-giant planets.

Tiny Star Has A Massive Storm Raging On It - Just Like Jupiter's
Scientists have found the best evidence yet for a star with a storm on it. Cloudy, windy storms are usually associated with planets. W1906+40, a distant dwarf star with some serious weather issues, is described in a study published recently in the Astrophysical Journal.
