Even gargantuan Jupiter, with its whirling superstorms and volatile temperatures, has a soft side. A team of researchers ...

Scientists now believe that solar bursts hit the largest planet of our solar system two to three times a month.

“People have talked since the sixties about using strong magnetic fields for shielding in space. While Hēki is not the ideal ...

A massive solar windstorm in 2017 compressed Jupiter's magnetosphere "like a giant squash ball," a new study reports.

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

“The solar wind squished Jupiter’s magnetic shield like a giant squash ball. This created a super-hot region that spans half ...

Scientists say a vast region of unexpectedly high temperatures in Jupiter's upper atmosphere was caused by a massive wave of solar wind.

But this study shows that solar wind can spread energy far beyond those areas, changing the way heat moves through Jupiter’s ...

To figure out how this might have occurred, the researchers combined ground-based observations from the Keck telescope with data from NASA's Juno spacecraft ... s magnetic shield like a giant ...
