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

For the first time, NASA's Juno spacecraft has observed powerful solar winds squishing Jupiter's magnetic field, likened to a ...

A solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere created a hot region spanning half Jupiter's circumference.

Scientists now believe that solar bursts hit the largest planet of our solar system two to three times a month.

"Typically, temperatures decrease gradually toward the equator, reflecting ... burst of solar wind that compressed Jupiter's enormous magnetosphere — a magnetic bubble surrounding the planet ...
