It could also settle a long-running debate. A group of researchers studying data gathered by NASA’s Juno spacecraft of Jupiter’s magnetosphere found that there is a crescent-shaped area of ...

A solar wind event squashed the protective bubble around Uranus just before Voyager 2 flew by the planet in 1986, shifting ...

Jupiter’s magnetic field is so strong that it’s second only to that of the Sun in intensity. The region around a body where its magnetic field influences space is known as its magnetosphere.

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

To get close to Europa, the probe must pass through Jupiter’s immense magnetosphere, which causes intense radiation that could destroy many standard spacecrafts and probes. The magnetosphere of ...

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

Dec. 9, 2024 — A NASA Hubble Space Telescope observation program called OPAL (Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy) obtains long-term baseline observations of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in ...

A compass near Jupiter, for instance, would be overwhelmed by the planet’s complex and extremely powerful magnetosphere — which is some 20,000 times the strength of Earth’s. Meanwhile, Saturn’s ...

Since these properties are sensitive to environmental conditions – for example, bombardment by charged particles from Jupiter's magnetosphere – as well as to geological processes, such as tectonic or ...

FAST (Earth's aurora), THEMIS (Earth's magnetosphere), RBSP (Earth's radiation belts), MMS (magnetic reconnection mission), and MAVEN (Mars atmosphere). We also contribute to STEREO (solar wind) and ...
