July 23 (UPI) --New data from NASA's InfraRed Telescope Facility suggests Jupiter's equatorial magnetic field is relatively simple. The data also suggests the gas giant's ionosphere, between the ...

Study shows first evidence of an ionospheric interaction with Jupiter's equatorial magnetic field Contrary to past theories, the magnetic equator is surprisingly simple but the ionosphere between the ...

The spacecraft studying the giant planet picks up some wave signals, and NASA slows them to a frequency humans can hear. Eric Mack has been a CNET contributor since 2011. Eric and his family live 100% ...

TL;DR: Researchers are investigating mysterious "dark ovals" on Jupiter, which are Earth-sized and appear near the poles. These may indicate disturbances in Jupiter's ionosphere linked to its magnetic ...

Dark ovals in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A new study shows that these dark UV ovals are common, appearing at the south pole in ...

As Webb continues changing how astronomers and scientists view the Universe, its ability to capture objects in high-resolution has aided in unveiling new features in spots studied for decades. Such is ...

This is a map of the north hemisphere of Jupiter's ionosphere, added up over 13,000 images, and more than 40 nights. In the top image, the aurora is clearly seen, but only once the aurora is saturated ...

The discovery of a dark ribbon of weak hydrogen ion emissions that encircles Jupiter has overturned previous thinking about the giant planet's magnetic equator. The discovery of a dark ribbon of weak ...
