Jupiter's Great Red Spot storm, which usually appears dark-red, can be seen shining a lurid blue color in an ultraviolet image of the planet.

In case anyone missed the January planetary alignment, two more are expected to be seen in the night sky in February, with one alignment featuring two more celestial bodies.

NASA's mission to send a spacecraft to scour Jupiter's moon Europa for signs of life appears back on track after Hurricane Milton forced a delay.

The data used to create the image is from a Hubble Space Telescope project to capture and map Jupiter's superstorm system.

Skywatchers can spot Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars in the night sky with the naked eye, but two other planets might need a telescope to be seen.

While claims of a “rare alignment” are overblown, you can still see up to six planets in the night sky this weekend. Here's how.

Stargazers who haven't had a chance to check out this month's planet parade will want to look up soon because there's something about the January event that is particularly special.

With 2024 receding into the distance, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is already deep into a busy 2025. Early in the new year, the Eaton Fire came close to JPL, destroying the homes of more than 200 employees,

Galileo Galilei's telescopic discovery of Jupiter's four moons in 1610 revolutionized astronomy and supported heliocentric theories. Subsequent centuries saw more moons discovered and a focus shift toward Europa,

Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars will appear to line up and be bright enough to see without a telescope or binoculars — and with them, you can see Uranus and Neptune, too.
