Learn how winds in Saturn's upper atmosphere power a continuous aurora, creating misleading changes in the planet's rotation rate. Saturn’s spin has displayed perplexing changes when observed in the ...
JWST’s NIRSpec aurora maps, 10 times sharper than Cassini-era data, exposed a planetary heat engine of aurora, winds, and ...
For more than 40 years, planetary scientists believed they knew how long a day on Saturn lasted. They were listening to the ...
Saturn's magnetic shield is asymmetrical compared to Earth’s, suggests a new study involving University College London (UCL) researchers, and this is likely a result of its fast rotation coupled with ...
Saturn’s magnetosphere, a vast and dynamic region dominated by the planet’s intrinsic magnetic field, plays a pivotal role in governing its interactions with the solar wind. The interplay between ...
Studies of Jupiter’s auroras by scientists from the University of Leicester have challenged current theories about the processes controlling the biggest light-shows in the Solar System. The scientists ...
