Juno will reach Jupiter in just a few hours but it has already been producing fantastic science. One of the most fascinating pieces of data coming from the NASA probe so far is what the magnetic ...

Jupiter’s magnetosphere ‘acts like a giant particle accelerator’ By Georgina Torbet Published April 28, 2022 Save Jupiter is a planet with some notable quirks. As well ...

Jupiter’s magnetic field is some 20,000 times more powerful than Earth’s. Its magnetosphere is so large, it clashes with the solar wind millions of miles before the wind even reaches the gas ...

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 ...

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 ...

Uniquely among Jupiter’s moons, Ganymede has a strong enough magnetic field to carve a protective magnetic bubble within Jupiter’s powerful magnetosphere.

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 ...

"Eight minutes later, the orbiter started receiving data from the descent probe, which slammed into the top of the Jovian ...

Researchers have found mysterious, unexpected alternating currents going through Jupiter's atmosphere, very similar to what is seen on Earth. Published in Nature Astronomy, researchers used data ...

A solar storm compresses Jupiter's magnetosphere -- the area where the planet has the greatest magnetic force -- and shifts its boundary inward by a million miles, according to researchers.
