A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

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

If there was a contest for the most interesting moon in our solar system, Callisto would be a contender. Jupiter's ...

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

More pocked with craters than any other object in our solar system, Jupiter's outermost and second ... Investigation of Its Induced Magnetic Field, AGU Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1029/2024AV001237 ...

The planet's fast spin on its axis means that one Jupiter day lasts less than 10 Earth hours, and it sparks electrical currents that may drive the planet's intense and massive magnetic field ...

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 ...

The gas and ice giants have intense magnetic fields, far stronger than Earth’s. A compass near Jupiter, for instance, would be overwhelmed by the planet’s complex and extremely powerful 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 ...

In other words, oceans can be found based on the magnetic fields they generate. Since moons like Jupiter's Callisto and Neptune's Triton have very strong ionospheres, readings with a ...

This gives Jupiter a powerful magnetic field, with an influence stretching for millions of kilometres beyond the planet. Electrically-charged particles, some from the Sun and others from Jupiter's ...
