- Jupiter's turbulent atmosphere with dozens of interacting hurricane-like storm systems
- Erupting volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io, which has 100 times the volcanic activity of Earth
- The Io torus, a thick ring of ionized sulfur and oxygen shed by Io that inflates Jupiter's giant magnetic field
- An indication of an ocean beneath the cracked icy crust of Jupiter's moon Europa
- Waves and fine structure in Saturn's icy rings from the tugs of nearby moons, and small moons shepherding the narrow, kinky F-ring
- A deep, smoggy nitrogen atmosphere on Saturn's moon Titan, likely having clouds and rain of methane
- Complex and diverse surfaces of frozen moons shaped by icy volcanism and faults
- Neptune's Great Dark Spot and 1,600 kilometer-per-hour winds (1,000 miles per hour)
- Geysers erupting from the polar cap Neptune's moon Triton at -390 degrees Fahrenheit
- The termination shock where the supersonic solar wind abruptly slows, forming the final frontier of the solar system
