The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is similar to that of the planet as a whole. [1] Jupiter's atmosphere is the most comprehensively understood of those of all the giant planets because it was observed directly by the Galileo atmospheric probe when it entered the Jovian atmosphere on December 7, 1995.

On April 10, 2020, the Juno spacecraft observed a fireball on Jupiter that was consistent with the impact of a 1–4-meter (3.3–13.1 ft) meteor. It was the first fireball to be detected by Juno . Researchers estimate Jupiter experiences approximately 24,000 impact events of this size per year—around 2.7 per hour.

Astronomers have detected one of the most distant and energetic mysterious fast radio bursts in space, a millisecond-long blast of radio waves that traveled 8 billion years to reach Earth.
The radio burst repeats in a regular pattern lasting more than 100 days. Mysterious radio burst from space repeats at time astronomers predicted Skip to main content
Jupiter has been visited by automated spacecraft since 1973, when the space probe Pioneer 10 passed close enough to Jupiter to send back revelations about its properties and phenomena. [ 168 ] [ 169 ] Missions to Jupiter are accomplished at a cost in energy, which is described by the net change in velocity of the spacecraft, or delta-v .
Images taken of Jupiter by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope show a roaring jet stream over the gas giant's equator that is moving at speeds twice as fast as the winds of a Category 5 hurricane ...
Lorimer Burst – Observation of the first detected fast radio burst as described by Lorimer in 2006. [1] [failed verification]In radio astronomy, a fast radio burst (FRB) is a transient radio pulse of length ranging from a fraction of a millisecond, for an ultra-fast radio burst, [2] [3] to 3 seconds, [4] caused by some high-energy astrophysical process not yet understood.
