Juno Reveals Ganymede's Auroral Secrets and Magnetospheric Interaction
NASA's Juno spacecraft provided the highest-resolution observations of Ganymede's auroras, shedding new light on its unique magnetic field and interaction with Jupiter. This research helps constrain models of Ganymede's magnetospheric source region, offering insights into this icy moon's complex environment.
- Juno spacecraft observed Ganymede's auroral emissions with unprecedented detail.
- Ganymede is the only moon in our solar system with its own magnetic field.
- Observations reveal insights into interaction between Ganymede and Jupiter's magnetosphere.
- Data helps constrain models of the magnetospheric source region of the auroras.
- The findings contribute to understanding potentially habitable environments in space.
