As reported by scientists in the journal "Nature Astronomy", these phenomena are caused by magnetic tornadoes that penetrate deep into Jupiter's atmosphere, lifting misty gases upwards.

A burst of solar wind triggered a planet-wide heatwave in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere, say astronomers at the University in ...

A high temperature band the size of multiple Earths has been captured on Jupiter for the first time. Scientists believe the heat was due to solar winds squeezing the magnetic field, and this may ...

Scientists found that bursts of solar wind—streams of charged particles from the Sun—can slam into Jupiter, squeeze its magnetic bubble, and unleash planet-wide waves of heat. Until now ...

Scientists at the University of Reading have discovered a solar wind event from 2017 that hit Jupiter and compressed its magnetosphere -- a protective bubble created by a planet's magnetic field.

These spectacular lights resemble those seen on Earth, where they're generated when energetic particles interact with our planet's magnetic field, but Jupiter's auroras are believed to proceed ...
