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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
