And unlike Earth’s magnetic field—which arises from our planet’s core—Jupiter’s is surprisingly uneven between its poles. Bolton and others guess that just below the atmosphere ...

It's the second spacecraft in history to do so, and its orbit is taking it over Jupiter's north and south pole. During its latest pass over Jupiter's south pole, Juno snapped a series of images ...

Normally, Jupiter's powerful polar auroras inject significant heat into the gas giant's upper atmosphere near the poles. These spectacular lights resemble those seen on Earth, where they're ...

This compression appears to have intensified auroral heating at Jupiter's poles, causing the upper atmosphere to expand and spill hot gas toward the equator. Scientists had previously thought ...
