New discoveries about Jupiter's magnetosphere Date: May 6, 2024 Source: University of Alaska Fairbanks Summary: New discoveries about Jupiter could lead to a better understanding of Earth's own ...

A recent study published in Geophysical Research Letters discusses a collaborative effort between the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). This study ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. The discovery stemmed from an unusual temperature pattern scientists observed ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Short Wave hosts Regina Barber and Emily Kwong about the music of Earth's magnetosphere, a mission to Jupiter's icy moons, and a potential runaway supermassive black hole.

There are jets in Jupiter’s magnetosheath, according to Voyager 2 mission data from 1979. The 45-year-old information is now revealing the dynamics of the plasma stream. You may remember Voyager ...

Juno was within Jupiter’s magnetosphere up until the great squishing (as I’m calling it), at which point the compressed boundary suddenly put Juno outside of the magnetosphere.

NASA spacecraft Juno is just a few days away from getting close enough to Jupiter, hopefully to be swept into its orbit. The goal is for scientists to get a close-up view of the solar system’s ...

Despite Jupiter's great distance from us, "If you could 'see' the magnetosphere of Jupiter from Earth, it would be about the size of the full Moon," said Ralph McNutt, a senior scientist at John ...

Limited single-spacecraft observations of Jupiter's magnetopause have been used to infer that the boundary moves inward or outward in response to variations in the dynamic pressure of the solar ...

NASA's Juno spacecraft is now in Jupiter's backyard. Juno, which is scheduled to begin orbiting the giant planet on Monday (July 4), entered Jupiter's sphere of influence last week, mission team ...
