Pictures may enliven us, but other data, such as information about magnetic fields, add a huge amount to our understanding of ...

The magnetic field around Jupiter is enormous, with a strength some 20,000 times greater than that of Earth! The magnetosphere is some 1200 times larger in size than that found around the Earth! Note ...

Using data collected by NASA’s Juno spacecraft as it flew past Jupiter’s highly volcanic moon Io in late 2023 and again in ...

The map reveals how Jupiter's powerful magnetosphere influences the radiation environment around one of the gas giant's moons, Europa, which is crucial for understanding the moon's surface ...

Europa is the sixth largest satellite in our Solar System and the smallest of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons. Discovered by ...

The size of the ice particles and the surface temperature can be estimated in this way. Since these properties are sensitive to environmental conditions – for example, bombardment by charged particles ...

NASA's Galileo mission, which launched into space in 1989, was designed to study Jupiter, its moons, and its surrounding invisible magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere. The spacecraft had 35 ...
