An enormous rocky planet orbiting a distant star may be a gas giant that has had its atmosphere ripped off, which could help us understand how huge worlds like Jupiter form

The newly-remastered images show the icy surface of Europa, the sixth of Jupiter’s moons and the fourth largest, in enhanced color. All three high-resolution images were captured along the same longitude of Europa as NASA’s Galileo spacecraft flew by on September 26, 1998, in the eighth of the spacecraft’s 11 targeted flybys of the icy [...]

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based Gemini Observatory in Hawaii have teamed up with the Juno spacecraft to probe the mightiest storms in the solar system, taking place more than 500 million miles away on the giant planet Jupiter.

The Hawaii-based Gemini telescope produces a super-sharp picture of the gas giant in the infrared.

Pictures are some of the sharpest infrared images of Jupiter ever taken from the Earth

Researchers using a technique known as 'lucky imaging' with the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii's Maunakea have collected some of the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground. These images are part of a multi-year joint observing program with the Hubble Space Telescope in support of NASA's Juno mission.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the ground-based Gemini Observatory in Hawaii have teamed up with the Juno spacecraft to probe the mightiest storms in the solar system, taking place more than 500 million miles away on the giant planet Jupiter.

These incredible images sent back by the Juno spacecraft gives us a detailed look at Jupiter.

The UK’s fund management industry is losing the war against index tracking

What’s gone wrong with Britain’s fund management industry? Over the past year share prices have soared globally, which usually translates into boom times for asset managers, whose income is based on a percentage cut from the total amount of money under management. Yet the UK’s industry is beset with scandals and sliding fortunes among some of the once most-revered names.

Jupiter is attempting to arrest its decline with a £370m takeover of Merian (once Old Mutual’s investment arm), creating a £65bn group that boss and serial deal maker Andrew Formica promises investors will be “highly earnings accretive”.

Detailed pictures of planet glowing through clouds were taken with telescope in Hawaii

Astronomers have captured some of the highest resolution images of Jupiter ever obtained from the ground using a technique known as “lucky imaging”.

The observations, from the Gemini North telescope on Hawaii’s dormant volcano Mauna Kea, reveal lightning strikes and storm systems forming around deep clouds of water ice and liquid. The images show the warm, deep layers of the planet’s atmosphere glowing through gaps in thick cloud cover in a “jack-o-lantern”-like effect.

Parents were left absolutely stunned when Tiger Woods caddied for his 10-year-old son, Charlie, in a junior golf tournament in Florida on the weekend.

New images of Jupiter reveal that its Great Red Spot has holes.The infrared portrait of the planet also shows that lightning bolts form alongside 40-mile-high towers of turbulent clouds.Astronomers used NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the Juno spacecraft that orbits Jupiter, and the Gemini Observatory on Earth to gather some of the sharpest-ever infrared images of the planet.Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.New snapshots of Jupiter reveal its turbulent weather in infrared — the spectrum of light just beyond visible wavelengths.To get these unprecedentedly sharp images, a team of researchers from NASA and the University of California, Berkeley combined data from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Juno probe that orbits Jupiter, and the Gemini Observatory on Earth. The team released

With Jupiter running £45.2billion in assets under management and Merian overseeing £22.4billion, the tie-up would create a £67billion fund giant.

Three 'cotton candy' exoplanets are the size of Jupiter but with a hundred times lighter mass - and NASA believes it is because they are still evolving. They are only 500 million years old.

Researchers at the University of Chicago used data from the Spitzer telescope to examine the planet, called KELT-9b, and find out just how inhospitable it is.

NASA's Juno reveals the first accurate estimate of the total amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere. Water makes up around 0.25% of the molecules in the planet's atmosphere at its equator.

On Dec. 21, during winter solstice, four of Juno's cameras captured images of the Jovian moon Io, the most volcanic body in our solar system, on the mission's 17th flyby of the gas giant.

It is a mosaic formed from three years' worth of 'lucky images' taken by the Gemini telescope in Hawaii and is one of the clearest photos of Jupiter ever taken from Earth.

Europa's images usually show a thick, icy shell and dark tints in a lot of areas. The surface is covered with long grooves and etched in a zig-zag manner.

We know that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System and one of the biggest planets discovered. Moreover, the planet has played a huge role in shaping the Solar System due to its mass and its gravity. Now, NASA

It’s true that the “Jupiter Ascending” trailer makes the otherwise scrumptious Channing Tatum look like the douchiest elf in all of Middle-Earth. But the troubling part of the movie isn’t the prosthetic ears—it’s the insidious idea that only people fated to do great things can become heroes. Angry Nerd has other ideas about saving the world (again).

The experts at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory explain the incredibly precise, solar-powered Juno mission to the radiation-strewn planet Jupiter.

The Juno spacecraft has snapped the first photo ever of Jupiter’s north pole, revealing some intriguing surprises.

It's not aliens. So everyone calm the heck down. Using the Hubble Space Telescope, NASA caught sight of water plumes bursting out from Europa’s icy surface. If any Europeans are lurking beneath the moon's surface, they just got a whole lot easier to reach.

We speak with the Juno mission's lead scientist to find out what lies under Jupiter's poles.

Thanks for Jupiter Ball guests, thousands of children will receive scholarships to visit Morehead on school field trips.

This week we have stories on strange dimming at a not-so-distant star, sending sperm to the International Space Station, and what the fossil record tells us about how baleen whales got so ginormous with Online News Editor David Grimm. Julia Rosen talks to Scott Bolton about surprises in the first data from the Juno mission, including what Jupiter’s poles look like and a peak under its outer cloud layers.

We’ve all seen images or animations of hurricanes that color code the wind speeds inside the whirling mass—but it turns out we can do a better job measuring these winds and, as a result, better predict the path of the storm. Staff Writer Paul Voosen talks with host Sarah Crespi about how a microsatellite-based project for measuring hurricane wind speeds is showing signs of success—despite unexpected obstacles from the U.S. military’s tweaking of GPS signals.    Also this week, Sarah talks with graduate student Samantha Trumbo, a Ph.D. candidate in planetary science at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, about spotting chloride salts on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa. What can these salts on the surface tell us about the oceans that lie beneath Europa’s icy crust? Download a transcript (PDF)  This week’s episode was edited by Podigy.
