NASA discovers Jupiter’s invisible shield is more complex than Earth’s
NASA's Juno spacecraft has found that Jupiter uses a complex system of powerful plasma waves to protect itself from the solar wind. This defense mechanism is more complex than Earth's and involves multiple shock regions. The findings will help scientists better understand how huge shock waves are produced.
Why it's good news: It expands our understanding of the universe, allowing us to learn more about one of its most massive planets.
