Boulder -
After conducting a series of computer simulations and studies, scientists are asking the question: did our solar system harbour a fifth giant planet during its infancy? Study authors say it is a “conceivable” idea.

Cape Canaveral -
On Friday afternoon, NASA launched the solar-powered Juno spacecraft for its five-year mission to Jupiter. The $1.1 billion journey will research our solar system's largest planet, which will study its origin and evolution.

Lafayette -
Researchers are stating that there could be another planet within our solar system. The planet is four times the size of planet Jupiter and is named after the Greek goddess Tyche. But some are saying that it's not there.

Greenbelt -
The frigid ice of Jupiter's moon Europa may be hiding more than a presumed ocean: it is likely the scene of some unexpectedly fast chemistry between water and sulphur dioxide at extremely cold temperatures.

If you currently look up at night, it is virtually impossible to miss noticing the planet Jupiter - the giant planet is spectacularly bright.
|
|
A new study has confirmed that two amateur astronomers recorded a pair of small meteors impacting with Jupiter. Professional astronomer Dr Ricardo Heuso says this highlights the growing value of amateurs in the field of astronomy.

Radio waves accelerate electrons within Jupiter’s magnetic field in the same way as they do on Earth; discovery overturns a theory that has held sway for more than a generation.
|
|
New data from Hubble and ground based telescopes is starting to figure out Jupiter’s eternal clouds. It’s taken a while to understand how our gigantic neighbor operates. Two “eruptions” have created storms in the atmosphere.
|
|
Some drastic alterations in Jupiter’s cloud bands have been spotted by Hubble. This phenomenon has never been seen before. Even the shape and color of the clouds have altered significantly.
|
|
The New Horizons proble is sending back incredible pictures of Jupiter, including a close encounter look at the planet's "Little Red Spot" and the birth of a volcano on a near-by moon.
|
|
Aurora Borealis is one of the most spectacular things in the world. The collision of charged particles creates a greenish glow or a dark red glow. Today, NASA has noticed one of these on Jupiter.
|
|
A small spacecraft en route to Pluto flew past Jupiter early on Wednesday, picking up enough speed from the giant planet's gravity field to shave three years off what would have been a 12-year voyage.

Hamburg (dpa) - Scientists in the United States are debating what to do with
the Galileo space probe once it finishes exploring Jupiter and its moons by
the year 2002.
Among the options under consideration by the U.S. space agency NASA is to

The Great Red Spot as seen from Voyager 1 This dramatic view of Jupiter's Great Red Spot and its surroundings was obtained by Voyager 1 on February 25, 1979, when the spacecraft was 5.7 million miles (9.2 million kilometers) from Jupiter. Cloud details as small as 100 miles (160 kilometers) across can be seen here. The colorful, wavy cloud pattern to the left of the Red Spot is a region of extraordinarily complex and variable wave motion. To give a sense of Jupiter's scale, the white oval storm

This color picture is assembled from a series of images taken when Jupiter was at a distance of 519 million miles (961 million kilometers) from Earth. These images are part of a set of data obtained by a Hubble
Space Telescope (HST) team headed by Reta Beebe of New Mexico State University in 1995.
