Researchers determined that these vortices are caused by Jupiter's strong magnetic field, which is 20,000 times stronger than Earth's. Charged particles from the volcanoes on the moon Io and a ...

Such phenomena suggest a connection between Jupiter’s stratosphere and deeper atmospheric layers, driven by interactions between the planet’s intense magnetic field and atmospheric dynamics.

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 ...

Chorus waves, quick bursts of energy known to occur relatively close to Earth and around other planets, were found in an ...

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.

“There are only three bodies that possess an internal magnetic field—Earth, Mercury and Ganymede.” Will JUICE just study Jupiter’s moons? JUICE will also study the environment around Jupiter.

By studying the fastest jet ever seen erupting from an infant star, astronomers have discovered that the mechanism that ...

NASA detects mysterious 'chirping' signals, or chorus waves, 165,000 km from Earth, revealing surprising energy transfer in ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has uncovered an immense volcanic hot spot on Jupiter’s moon Io, surpassing any previously recorded ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped a stunning image of a cloud on Jupiter shaped like a dolphin, proving that even science has an ...

This gives Jupiter a powerful magnetic field, with an influence stretching for millions of kilometres beyond the planet. Electrically-charged particles, some from the Sun and others from Jupiter's ...
