Finding water on distant planets and moons in our solar system is a challenge, especially when the instrument is thousands of kilometers away from the surface, but scientists presenting at the ...

A scientist simulated the contents of the ice giant worlds, and found that a fluid layer may explain each planet’s strange ...

Planetary scientists have issued a tornado warning for Jupiter, with the discovery that magnetic vortices twisting down from the planet's ionosphere into its deep atmosphere are resulting in giant, ...

The discovery of hydroxyl molecules on one of the brightest objects in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter suggests a ... are low enough for water to turn to ice. The findings have ...

Bjoraker have moved one step closer to answering the question of whether there is water in Jupiter's atmosphere. By looking from ground-based telescopes at wavelengths sensitive to thermal ...

At the equator, water makes up about 0.25 per cent of the molecules in Jupiter's atmosphere -- almost three times that of the Sun, said the study published in the journal Nature Astronomy.
