"Voyager 2 Data Uncovers Jupiter's Magnetic Jets from 1979 Mission"

TL;DR Summary
Voyager 2 mission data from 1979 has revealed the presence of plasma jets in Jupiter's magnetosheath, with at least three jets detected above the gas giant. These jets are rapid streams of material and were found downstream of Jupiter's bow shock. The discovery sheds light on the dynamics of the planet's magnetosphere and its interaction with its moons, with implications for understanding similar phenomena in other planetary magnetosheaths. Ongoing and future missions, such as Juno and ESA's JUICE, are expected to provide further insights into Jupiter's magnetosheath and its fast-moving jets.
