A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. The discovery stemmed from an unusual temperature pattern scientists observed ...

"The solar wind squished Jupiter's magnetic shield like a giant squash ball. This created a super-hot region that spans half the planet. Jupiter's diameter is 11 times larger than Earth's ...

The idea that these “mush balls” were even real was offered as a reason why there was not uniformity in the distribution of ammonia gas in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere–an inconsistency spotted by NASA’s ...

Large hailstones made of ammonia may explain why the gas is missing from large pockets of Jupiter's atmosphere.
