Storms on Jupiter are disturbing the planet's colorful belts: Radio, IR and optical observations show evolution of plumes and their impact on belts and zones
Thanks to coordinated observations of the planet in January 2017 by six ground-based optical and radio telescopes and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, a University of California, Berkeley, astronomer and her colleagues have been able to track the effects of these storms -- visible as bright plumes above the planet's ammonia
Near-Earth asteroid 2006 QV89 not a threat for next century: Critical observation made on Maunakea during first night of return to operations
Observations of the near-Earth asteroid 2006 QV89 made on August 11 with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) have ruled out any potential future impact threat to Earth by this asteroid for the next century. 2006 QV89 was discovered on August 29, 2006, with a telescope in Arizona, and observations were only
Moon glows brighter than sun in images from NASA's Fermi
Gamma-ray observations are not sensitive enough to clearly see the shape of the Moon's disk or any surface features.
Young Jupiter was smacked head-on by massive newborn planet: Jupiter's core may still be reeling from collision 4.5 billion years ago
Astronomers from Rice University and China's Sun Yat-sen University say their head-on impact scenario can explain Juno's previously puzzling gravitational readings, which suggest that Jupiter's core is less dense and more extended that expected. "This is puzzling," said Rice astronomer and study co-author Andrea Isella. "It suggests that something happened
Mission to Jupiter's icy moon confirmed
"We are all excited about the decision that moves the Europa Clipper mission one key step closer to unlocking the mysteries of this ocean world," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "We are building upon the scientific insights received from the

Moon-forming disk discovered around distant planet: Astronomers report first observations of a 'circumplanetary disk'
The find, reported online today in Astrophysical Journal Letters, adds to the intriguing story of planet PDS 70 c, a still-forming gas giant about 370 light years from Earth that was first revealed last month in visible light images. Using the massive 66-antenna Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in
