Just 12 light-years from Earth, the closest known super-Jupiter has thrown a wrench into atmospheric science. New ...

A giant planet circling a nearby star has given astronomers a rare look at what a colder, more Jupiter-like world can be like ...

One of NOAA’s primary ocean-atmosphere models is now projecting that the Niño-3.4 index, the benchmark gauge of El Niño ...
