Juno Mission Discovers Callisto's Missing Auroral Signature on Jupiter - NASA Science Explained

Описание: NASA's Juno mission has finally detected the elusive auroral signature of Callisto, the last of Jupiter's four largest moons to reveal its 'satellite footprint'. This groundbreaking discovery completes the family portrait of the Galilean moon auroral signatures. In this video, we'll explore how Juno's unique orbit and instruments allowed it to capture this faint but distinct phenomenon, hidden by Jupiter's main auroral oval. We'll also discuss the role of solar activity in revealing Callisto's footprint and what this means for our understanding of Jupiter's magnetosphere and its interaction with its moons. Join us as we dive into the science behind this exciting find and its implications for planetary research.
