NASA’s Juno spacecraft reveals Jupiter’s superstorms generate intense lightning, forming a powerful and complex electrical weather system.

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, has massive storms that match its size. These storms—some of which can last ...

Not all of the solar system’s building blocks formed simultaneously. Some of the first solid bodies, or planetesimals, formed in the first million years after the Sun was born. Others, including the ...

Lightning on Jupiter may pack more than 100 times the power of Earth's bolts, and may prove one million times stronger, a new study finds.

It only takes one close encounter with a lightning strike to get the full sense of its power. At around 1 gigaJoule of energy, a single electrical discharge during a thunderstorm is more than enough ...

Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth in 59 years on Monday, according to NASA. The largest planet in our solar system, the gas giant will be at opposition, meaning Earth is directly between ...
