Wild Light Show, Strange Sounds Coming From Jupiter As Juno Spacecraft Approaches Orbit


A NASA animation shows how the spacecraft will orbit Jupiter, eventually allowing it to map the entire planet: In addition to stunning images, NASA also released unusual "sounds" from Jupiter captured by the Juno spacecraft, which will enter orbit around the planet on July 4. "If Jupiter's magnetosphere glowed in visible light, it would be twice the size of the full moon as seen from Earth," Kurth said. In this case, the obstacle is Jupiter's magnetosphere, the largest in the Solar System. The space agency called the transition from solar wind to magnetosphere "unexpectedly complex" with instruments aboard Juno picking up "unusual signatures."
