JUNO’S CLOSE FLYBY OF JUPITER REVEALED BOTH THE PLANET’S STORMY ATMOSPHERE AND A SURPRISING MAGNETIC SHIFT CAUSED BY DEEP, ELECTRICALLY CHARGED WINDS. This image from NASA’s Juno mission
captures the northern hemisphere of Jupiter around the region known as Jet N7. The planet’s strong winds create the many swirling storms visible near the top of its atmosphere. Data from
Juno helped scientists discover another, less visible effect of those winds: Jupiter’s powerful magnetic field changes over time. The winds extend more than 1800 miles (3000 kilometers)
deep, where the material lower in Jupiter’s atmosphere is highly conductive, electrically. Scientists determined that the wind shears this conductive material apart and carries it around the
planet, which changes the shape of the magnetic field. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill created this false-color image using data from the JunoCam camera. The original image was taken on
February 21, 2021, as the Juno spacecraft performed its 32nd close flyby of Jupiter. At the time, the spacecraft was about 10,200 miles (16,400 kilometers) from the tops of the clouds at a
latitude of about 66 degrees north. NEVER MISS A BREAKTHROUGH: JOIN THE SCITECHDAILY NEWSLETTER.
