Researchers determined that these vortices are caused by Jupiter's strong magnetic field, which is 20,000 times stronger than Earth's. Charged particles from the volcanoes on the moon Io and a ...

Scientists measured a chorus wave emerging from an unexpected place, and confirmed a key piece of a theory about how these ...

RECENT radio observations of Jupiter, in the frequency-range 14–27 Mc./s., have suggested the presence of an ionosphere and a magnetic field on the planet. If the magnetic field is regarded as ...

The planet's fast spin on its axis means that one Jupiter day lasts less than 10 Earth hours, and it sparks electrical currents that may drive the planet's intense and massive magnetic field ...

Juno’s close passes have also allowed scientists to map Io’s magnetic field and plasma interactions, revealing how charged particles from Io contribute to Jupiter’s massive magnetosphere.

NASA detects mysterious 'chirping' signals, or chorus waves, 165,000 km from Earth, revealing surprising energy transfer in ...

“There are only three bodies that possess an internal magnetic field—Earth, Mercury and Ganymede.” Will JUICE just study Jupiter’s moons? JUICE will also study the environment around Jupiter.

The reversal could actually have a beneficial effect on Earth. The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. The sun undergoes such a reversal every 11 years ...

By studying the fastest jet ever seen erupting from an infant star, astronomers have discovered that the mechanism that ...

Scientists have recently detected cosmic waves that mimic the sound of birds chirping, coming from an unexpected source in ...

NASA’s Juno spacecraft snapped a stunning image of a cloud on Jupiter shaped like a dolphin, proving that even science has an ...

This gives Jupiter a powerful magnetic field, with an influence stretching for millions of kilometres beyond the planet. Electrically-charged particles, some from the Sun and others from Jupiter's ...
