Jupiters complex transient aurorasTokyo, Japan (SPX) May 26, 2017 Combined observations from three spacecraft show that Jupiter's brightest auroral features recorded to date are powered by both the volcanic moon Io and interaction with the solar wind. At Earth, auroras are clearly driven by the solar wind that streams past the planet. But Jupiter's gigantic auroras - magnitudes more powerful than those on Earth - are believed to be mainly driven by factors within the Jovian system. Now, by combining observations from three spacecraft, scientists from an in ... read more |
