Over the years, passing spacecraft have observed mystifying weather patterns at the poles of Jupiter and Saturn. The two planets host very different types of polar vortices, which are huge atmospheric ...

The two largest planets in the Solar System – Jupiter and Saturn – have a lot in common. They're made of very similar stuff, they spin at similar speeds, and radiate internal heat similarly. Heck, ...

What processes are responsible for shaping Jupiter and Saturn’s polar weather? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences hopes to address as a team ...

Jupiter and Saturn host strikingly different polar storms, despite being similar giant planets, and scientists have long wondered why. New simulations suggest the answer may lie deep below the clouds.
