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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

For the study, the researchers used a combination of spacecraft data obtained from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, ground observations obtained from the Keck Observatory, and computer modeling to analyze how ...

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 ...

As the Juno spacecraft passed through the "bow shock" outside of Jupiter's magnetosphere on June 24, the probe's instruments picked up the cacophony that accompanied the dramatic event.

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.
