NASA’s Juno orbiter, a basketball court-sized spacecraft, is observing the gas giant as it circles the planet at varying distances. Scientists recently mapped Jupiter’s magnetic field at four ...

Jupiter's magnetic field has changed since the 1970s, ... That allowed researchers to develop a thorough model of the planet's magnetic field and some detailed theories as to how it's produced.

Jupiter, the giant of our Solar System, remains one of the most fascinating and mysterious planets to explore. With its ...

Jupiter has the most powerful magnetic field in our Solar System, 18,000 times as strong as Earth's. It is large as well, extending seven million kilometers out from the planet towards the Sun.

Jupiter hosts the most powerful magnetic field of all the planets in our solar system, cranking out a field close to 20,000 times stronger than Earth's. Juno has braved that magnetic field during ...

Having already staked its claim in our solar system as the largest planet, Jupiter now stands out from its planetary kin for another reason: its shape-shifting magnetic field. In a recent study ...

The new magnetic field map is a coarse one, generated from data collected by Juno over the course of eight close passes over Jupiter's surface as it skims the planet's surface at speeds of up to ...

The shape of Jupiter’s magnetic field could clarify how this process works within the big planet. Jones at Nature reports that there are a couple of ideas about what lies beneath Jupiter.

Electrodynamic tether (EDT) can be used propulsion and power generation for a spacecraft in the Jovian system. The environment of the Jovian system has properties which are particularly favorable for ...

Jupiter's gravity, often called the "architect" of our solar system, played a critical role in shaping the orbital paths of other planets and sculpting the disk of gas and dust from which they formed.

Jupiter's magnetic field has changed since the 1970s, and physicists have proved it. That's not exactly a surprise. Earth's magnetic field, the only planetary field for which we have good ongoing ...
