Planetary scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, now say that hailstorms of mushballs accompanied by fierce lightning actually exist on Jupiter. In fact, mushball hailstorms may occur ...

Three moons and their shadows cross Jupiter at 06:28 UT on Jan. 24, 2015. [Read full story.] Three moons and their shadows cross the face of Jupiter at the start of triple transit at 06:28 UT on ...

Jupiter's moon Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system. Larger than Mercury and Pluto, and only slightly smaller than Mars, it would easily be classified as a planet if were orbiting ...

or be occulted by (cross behind) Jupiter. The answer changes if we allow for some of the moons to be in front of Jupiter at the same time that other moons are behind. When viewed through a small ...

Large balls of slush and ice rain down on Jupiter during the gaseous planet’s lightning storms, planetary scientists at UC‌ Berkeley said this week. The mushball theory — initially proposed ...
