Jupiter's atmosphere has a strange composition, but it could be explained if the planet formed farther away from the sun than where it orbits today, a new study suggests.

What happens when matter is squeezed so harshly that the rules of chemistry and physics seem to collapse? Deep below the biggest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, hydrogen the most primitive and ...

Previous reports of water on Jupiter have been conflicting. When the Comet Shoemaker-Levy smashed into Jupiter's surface, it kicked up oxygen that indicated water in the atmosphere might be plentiful.

Understanding Jupiter is key to learning more about how our solar system formed, and even about how other solar systems develop. But one critical question has bedeviled astronomers for generations: Is ...
