Scientists are scratching their heads over bizarre new activity on Jupiter. The planet’s famous Great Red Spot is shrinking, ...

The debate began with the 1979 flybys of Jupiter by NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. That data led many to believe that the planet had a generally open magnetosphere at its poles.Other scientists ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports. The discovery stemmed from an unusual temperature pattern scientists observed ...

Ulysses discovered that the solar wind has a much greater impact on Jupiter's magnetosphere than scientists previously thought. New Horizons took close-up pictures of Jupiter and its largest moons.

Image from a model produced by University Corporation for Atmospheric Research depicting Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities, giant swirling waves, at the Jupiter magnetosphere and the solar wind boundary, ...

On both Earth and Jupiter, auroras are linked to charged particles in the planet’s magnetosphere — the region that surrounds a planet affected by its magnetic field. But Jupiter’s magnetic ...

There are jets in Jupiter’s magnetosheath, according to Voyager 2 mission data from 1979. The 45-year-old information is now revealing the dynamics of the plasma stream. You may remember Voyager 2.

and how Io's activity is connected to the flow of charged particles in Jupiter's magnetosphere," Juno's principal investigator Scott Bolton said in a statement. The agency has scheduled another ...

A solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere created a hot region spanning half Jupiter's circumference. A massive wave of solar wind that squished Jupiter's ...

NPR's Ailsa Chang talks with Short Wave hosts Regina Barber and Emily Kwong about the music of Earth's magnetosphere, a mission to Jupiter's icy moons, and a potential runaway supermassive black hole.

CHANG: But why Jupiter in this case ... CHANG: OK, so we have visited the magnetosphere, a moon - what is our third and final stop on this whole space voyage? KWONG: It is a runaway supermassive ...
