"Juno Probe Discovers Massive Swirling Waves in Jupiter's Magnetosphere"

NASA's Juno mission has discovered giant swirling waves, known as Kelvin-Helmholtz waves, at the boundary between Jupiter's magnetic field and the solar wind. These waves, detected through Juno's instruments, provide new insights into how solar wind impacts the planet. The waves are believed to transfer energy and mass from the solar wind to Jupiter, driving activity within the planet's magnetosphere. This discovery highlights the active role of Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in the interaction between the solar wind and Jupiter.
