Using data from NASA's Juno spacecraft, an international team has correlated the variations in Jupiter's bands to changes in the planet's magnetic field.

NASA's Juno spacecraft has spotted short bursts that make up lightning bolts on Jupiter, showing that Jovian lightning works in much the same way as it does on Earth.

NASA's Juno mission made its 51st flyby of the gas giant planet Jupiter and its moons, catching stunning images of Io, the most volcanic world in the solar system.

The Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer, or JUICE, deployed its Radar for Icy Moons Exploration antenna today (May 12) after more than three weeks of troubleshooting efforts.

Something is shaking on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn as moonquakes are linked to landslides that smooth out icy surfaces of bodies like Europa and Enceladus.

A European radar instrument was designed to penetrate ice on Jupiter's icy moons. But now the JUICE mission is having issues deploying an antenna key to sending data back to Earth.

The JUICE spacecraft has captured stunning space "selfies" as it departs Earth and embarks on its eight-year voyage to Jupiter.

Now that ESA's JUICE mission to Jupiter has successfully blasted off, what does the future hold for the next eight years as it cruises to the giant planet?

The newly launched JUICE Jupiter mission is Europe's first flagship exploration mission and its first voyage to the outer solar system — and it could pave the way for even bolder efforts.

JUICE, Europe's first-ever Jupiter mission, launched Friday morning (April 14) on an ambitious quest to unlock the secrets of the giant planet's icy ocean moons.
