As NASA's Juno flew around Jupiter last week, the spacecraft snapped a photo of an object before it could make a clean getaway. That clunky, bumpy thing at the far right edge of the frame is Thebe, ...

Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system, is not as big as we thought. For more than half-a-century, astronomers thought they had a good idea of the gas giant's shape and size. Now, a fresh ...

University of Iowa researchers have made the most detailed observations yet of Jupiter’s bow shock, a barrier that helps deflect harmful particles from the sun. They found that Jupiter uses a more ...
