"On Earth, you have a surface—and rain will ... ammonia-rich plumes that weave around Jupiter, and the large storms that produce both mushballs and lightning. As to what finally convinced ...

Volcanic magma highways then bring them closer to the surface, providing us with shiny gemstones that we stick in rings and ear studs. But in the dense atmospheres of planets like Jupiter and ...

Jupiter experiences a unique weather phenomenon where mushballs, ice-encrusted slushballs of ammonia and water, rain down like hailstones.

Weather on Jupiter may have some surprising similarities to Earth phenomena, but some things it does defy easy explanation.

and large storms that generate mushballs and lightning. "Every time you look at Jupiter, it's mostly just surface level," Moeckel said. "It's shallow, but a few things — vortices and these big ...
