The discovery of a dark ribbon of weak hydrogen ion emissions that encircles Jupiter has overturned previous thinking about the giant planet's magnetic equator.

Jupiter's magnetic field is profoundly different from that of all other known planets — it essentially has two magnetic south poles instead of just one, a new Nature study finds.

Though Jupiter's magnetic equator appears relatively simple, the observation suggests there is a whole new world of complexity inside the planet's ionosphere waiting to be explored.

Most of those wind-driven changes seem to be concentrated in Jupiter's Great Blue Spot, a region of intense magnetic energy near Jupiter’s equator. (This is not the same thing as the Great Red ...

New data from NASA's Juno probe show that Jupiter's magnetic field is unlike any seen around other planets.

And unlike on Earth, the auroras shine over the moon’s equator rather than its poles. Over the course of Jupiter’s 10-hour rotation, the amount of charged particles striking Io varies.

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

The discovery of a dark ribbon of weak hydrogen ion emissions that encircles Jupiter has overturned previous thinking about the giant planet's magnetic equator.

Study shows first evidence of an ionospheric interaction with Jupiter's equatorial magnetic field Contrary to past theories, the magnetic equator is surprisingly simple but the ionosphere between ...
