The probe from the Galileo spacecraft found only 10% of the amount of water expected in Jupiter's atmosphere. The evidence raises questions about the theory that icy bombardment from space debris produced the mixture of methane and ammonia in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Article Abstract:

The Galileo space probe relayed data on its way down to Jupiter's surface that confirm that the planet's constant 650-kph winds extend at least 130 kilometers deep. The findings suggest that Jupiter's weather is driven by its internal heat reserves.
