Jupiter’s magnetic field is profoundly different from that of all other known planets — it essentially has two magnetic south poles instead of just one, a new Nature study finds.. Scientists ...
It could also help scientists learn more about planetary magnetic fields in general, like why Jupiter and Saturn have such different fields, she said. Juno will continue to orbit Jupiter until ...
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 ...
Earth’s magnetic field is often represented with a simple bar magnet, but Jupiter’s field, according to data compiled from Juno in 2018, seems to be much more complex.
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 ...
If you thought Jupiter's Great Red Spot was odd, wait until you get a look at its magnetic field. New data from Juno, a NASA space probe that's been orbiting Jupiter for the past two years ...
When it comes to magnetic fields, Jupiter is the ultimate muscle car. It's endowed with the biggest, brawniest field of any planet in the solar system, powered by a monster engine under the hood.
The new look at Jupiter’s magnetic field comes courtesy of NASA’s Juno spacecraft, which has been orbiting the planet since July 2016 (SN: 6/25/16, p. 16).
A groundbreaking study has unveiled a startling portrait of Jupiter‘s early days, revealing the gas giant was once nearly twice its current size and wielded a magnetic field about 50 times ...
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 Powerful solar winds squish Jupiter's magnetic field 'like a giant squash ball' Jupiter Jupiter used to be twice as big as it is now — it could have held 2,000 Earths ...
