Two new studies using NASA s retired spitzer space telescope shed light on giant exoplanets and a brown dwarf. Johanna Vos, an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, will discuss a Spitzer survey published in the Astrophysical Journal that found higher variability in the weather on young brown dwarfs compared to old ones.
Data from NASA's Juno spacecraft is providing a deeper understanding of Jupiter's wondrous and violent atmosphere including its Great Red Spot, finding that this immense swirling storm extends much further down than expected.
The storm on the planet is so big that if Earth were dropped into it, it would be swallowed from the orbit of the International Space Space down to sea level.
