The magnetic field around Jupiter is enormous, with a strength some 20,000 times greater than that of Earth! The magnetosphere is some 1200 times larger in size than that found around the Earth! Note ...

This region isn't actually blue; the name comes from the color scale scientists use to build maps of Jupiter's magnetic field. Unlike Earth's magnetic field, the gas giant's field is not symmetric ...

The planet's fast spin on its axis means that one Jupiter day lasts less than 10 Earth hours, and it sparks electrical currents that may drive the planet's intense and massive magnetic field ...

Astronomers have finally unlocked a crucial piece of the planet formation puzzle by detecting the magnetic fingerprint of a young star’s protoplanetary disk. Using ALMA, researchers observed how dust ...

Juno’s close passes have also allowed scientists to map Io’s magnetic field and plasma interactions, revealing how charged particles from Io contribute to Jupiter’s massive magnetosphere.
