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

Inside the planet’s magnetosphere were electron radiation belts with an intensity second only to Jupiter’s notoriously brutal radiation belts. But there was apparently no source of energized particles ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Understanding them gives scientists useful information about Jupiter's magnetosphere and the role its moons have in creating these magnificent space displays. NGC 4535, or the "Lost Galaxy," is a ...

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 ...

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 ...
