The James Webb Space Telescope just captured something never seen before: the glowing auroral footprints of Jupiter's moons Io and Europa. These stunning images reveal how electrons crash into Jupiter's atmosphere, opening new windows into planetary science.
Golfer Tom Kim nailed a stunning hole-in-one that sent his Jupiter Links teammates, including Tiger Woods, into pure celebration mode. The clutch shot on the 14th hole propelled the team straight into the SoFi Cup playoffs.
A shoebox-sized Australian satellite just wrapped up over two years in space, traveling the distance to Jupiter while capturing hundreds of images and detecting stellar explosions. The mission exceeded expectations and proved Australia can design, launch, and operate cutting-edge space technology.
NASA transformed telescope data from Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus into actual music, letting us hear the crackling auroras and sweeping rings of our solar system's giants. The soundscapes turn invisible X-ray data into an immersive audio experience anyone can enjoy.
A mysterious visitor from beyond our solar system has been captured on camera by a Jupiter-bound spacecraft, giving scientists a rare glimpse into the cosmos beyond our neighborhood. Only three interstellar objects have ever been spotted passing through our solar system.
Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Neptune and Uranus will parade across the sky together this weekend in a celestial event that won't happen again until 2040. Four of them will be visible without any special equipment.
Award-winning photographer Josh Dury captured a rare six-planet parade stretching across nearly 180 degrees of sky from England's southern coast. The cosmic lineup, visible through February 28, includes Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in one breathtaking image.
NASA just released sonifications that transform telescope data from Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus into music, making this month's rare planetary alignment accessible to everyone. The sounds reveal X-ray and infrared data that human eyes can't see from Earth.
Look west at sunset tonight to catch a stunning celestial show featuring the crescent moon alongside Venus, Mercury, and Saturn. Jupiter will shine bright overhead, creating a planetary parade visible to the naked eye.
Jupiter International just doubled its solar manufacturing capacity in India to 2 gigawatts, enough to power millions of homes. The expansion creates hundreds of skilled jobs while strengthening India's clean energy independence.
NASA scientists discovered ammonia on Jupiter's moon Europa, a key ingredient for life, buried in old data from a spacecraft mission that ended over 20 years ago. The finding makes Europa one of the most promising places to search for extraterrestrial life in our solar system.
Six planets will appear together in the evening sky on February 28, creating a rare celestial event visible to stargazers worldwide. While some planets will need binoculars to spot, Jupiter and Venus will shine bright enough to see with the naked eye.
Scientists just discovered Jupiter contains far more oxygen than anyone expected, using new technology to peer beneath the gas giant's violent clouds. The finding helps solve mysteries about how our solar system formed billions of years ago.
The near-full moon and brilliant Jupiter will appear side by side in the eastern sky tonight, offering skygazers a stunning celestial display visible with the naked eye. No telescope needed to enjoy this cosmic pairing, though binoculars will reveal even more wonder.
Scientists discovered ammonia compounds on Jupiter's moon Europa by reanalyzing 1997 spacecraft data, suggesting the icy moon's hidden ocean could support life. The compounds appeared near surface cracks where ocean water likely pushed through from below.
NASA's Juno spacecraft just witnessed the most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded in our solar system, a breathtaking display on Jupiter's moon Io that released up to 260 terawatts of energy. The simultaneous eruptions covered 40,400 square miles and revealed a hidden network of magma chambers beneath the moon's fiery surface.

Researchers squeezed water between diamonds at extreme pressure and discovered a new form of ice that could exist on Jupiter's and Saturn's icy moons. This breakthrough might help us understand where life could emerge in our solar system.
Jupiter's moon Europa just got more intriguing. NASA's Juno spacecraft measured the thickness of the icy shell covering Europa's hidden ocean, bringing scientists closer to understanding if life could exist there.
Scientists reveal Jupiter wandered into our inner solar system billions of years ago, disrupting rocks and shaping planets in ways that made Earth habitable. Without the gas giant's cosmic road trip, we might not be here.
Astronomers may have found the first confirmed exomoon, and it's so massive it could change how we define what a moon actually is. The potential moon orbiting a distant gas giant weighs half as much as Jupiter.
