“A fast solar wind stream slammed into Jupiter’s magnetosphere, which acts like a giant magnetic bubble pushing back against the solar wind, triggering intense auroral activity which dumped ...

The Sun is constantly spewing solar wind, a stream of charged particles, into interplanetary space. Occasionally, it bursts through in waves that can slam into planets. Geomagnetic storms happen ...

Jupiter’s magnetosphere is similar to Earth’s magnetosphere, generated from metals at the core, Tsubota said. On Earth, the magnetosphere forms the Aurora Borealis, which he said is “an ...
