This was the view from the West Exit of JR Narita station a short while ago, while I was doing some planet-spotting. I realized that Venus and Jupiter, which I’ve been tracking for weeks, are very close this week. The closest might have been last night. Rainy season is going to ruin the best views. … Continue reading Fifty seconds of Venus and Jupiter at the JR Narita West Exit. Today’s…

The largest moon in the solar system — Jupiter’s Ganymede — has a unique and inexplicable magnetic field. New research could finally explain it: the moon is heating up.
“The evidence for water vapor plumes on Europa isn’t as strong as we first understood it. ” – Dr. Kurt Retherford, Southwest Research Institute. A team of scientists from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) have been examining 14 years of Hubble telescope data for Jupiter’s moon Europa . The researchers now have a better understanding of […]

New observations of Jupiter’s lightning reveal unexpectedly complex and powerful storms. Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is home to massive, long-lived storms, some lasting for centuries. A new study from scientists at the University of California, Berkeley reports that these storms can produce extremely powerful lightning. Some flashes may be up to [...]

Jupiter and Saturn may seem similar as gas giants, yet their vastly different moon systems reveal a deeper story shaped by magnetic forces and planetary evolution. Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets in our Solar System, also host the most extensive systems of moons. Jupiter is currently known to have more than 100 moons, [...]
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.
Jupiter announced its nextnonogram Switch game will be _Picross S Konami Antiques_. Like the _Picross S_ Genesis & Master System Edition, it will be packed with puzzles based on classic Konami titles. It will be released digitally on the eShop worldwide on April 30, 2026. The official site is already live, and it will cost $17.99/¥1,800/€17.99. That page confirmed if someone is using a Switch 2,…
NASA’s Juno spacecraft passed north to south (yellow track) over Jupiter’s atmosphere in August 2022, detecting a cluster of radio pulses from lightning (turquoise circles). A background map from the Hubble Space Telescope identified the lightning source as an isolated “stealth superstorm.” The inset shows a previous stealth superstorm plume from JunoCam data. Credit:…

Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.
Ganymede's auroras splinter into small, bright patches — structures that mirror features seen in Earth's own auroral displays.

Jupiter’s moons may have been born with the chemistry needed for life. An international collaboration that included Southwest Research Institute has shown how complex organic molecules (COMs), widely considered essential precursors to life, may have been built into Jupiter’s Galilean moons as they formed. The findings are detailed in companion papers published in The Planetary [...]
