NASA's Juno revealed mushballs on Jupiter, reshaping our understanding of deep, violent gas giant storm systems.

Observations of Jupiter show that ammonia is unevenly distributed in the upper atmosphere, against expectations of uniform mixing. Scientists found evidence for a complicated but apparently real ...

A bizarre hailstorm of icy “mushballs” — slushy mixtures of ammonia and water — has been confirmed on Jupiter, where intense ...

The weather forecast for Jupiter calls for clouds with a chance of lightning and "mushballs"—a slushy mix of ammonia and ...

Weather on Jupiter may have some surprising similarities to Earth phenomena, but some things it does defy easy explanation.

Jovian storms can rework the whole chemical makeup of Jupiter's deep atmosphere by picking up ammonia from and dropping it somewhere else.

A cross section of the upper atmosphere, or troposphere, of Jupiter, showing the depth of storms in a north-south swath that crosses the planet's equator, or equatorial zone (EZ). Blue and red ...

The weather forecast for Jupiter calls for clouds with a chance of lightning ... "On Earth, you have a surface—and rain will eventually hit this surface," said Moeckel. "The question is: what ...

Imagine a Slushee™ composed of ammonia and water encased in a hard shell of water ice. Now picture these ice-encrusted slushballs, dubbed "mushballs," raining down like hailstones during a ...

Jupiter experiences a unique weather phenomenon where mushballs, ice-encrusted slushballs of ammonia and water, rain down like hailstones.

Scientists have discovered that during storms on Jupiter, ice balls containing ammonia and water fall. This unusual ...
