The spacecraft Juno, which is orbiting Jupiter, sensed the electric and magnetic radio waves from the moon Ganymede.
This view of Jupiter’s turbulent atmosphere from NASA’s Juno spacecraft includes several of the planet’s southern jet streams.NASA’s Juno spacecraft flew by Jupiter’s moon Ganymede in June. Using data from that rendezvous, scientists have created an audio track of the sounds of Ganymede’s atmosphere.
Analysis of Ganymede’s wave recordings are still ongoing, but “it is possible the change in the frequency shortly after closest approach is due to passing from the nightside to the dayside of Ganymede,” William Kurth, lead co-investigator for the Waves investigation, said in a statement. Juno is NASA’s mission to understand how gas giants formed and their role in the solar system’s creation. Launched in 2011, Juno began orbiting Jupiter in 2016, and is the first spacecraft to penetrate the thick gas that covers the giant planet.Using Juno’s magnetometer, NASA’s team also recently produced the most detailed map ever of Jupiter’s magnetic field.
