Juno Detects Unusual Plasma Waves in Jupiter’s Aurora

Using data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, planetary researchers have detected a new type of plasma wave in the auroral zones above Jupiter’s north pole. “The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has given us some infrared images of the aurora, but Juno is the first spacecraft in a polar orbit around Jupiter,” said Dr. Ali Sulaiman, a researcher at the University of Minnesota. “The space around magnetized planets like Jupiter is filled with plasma, a superheated state of matter where atoms break into electrons and ions.” “These particles are accelerated toward the planet’s atmosphere, causing the gases to light up as an aurora.” “On Earth, this is visible as familiar green and blue lights.” “However, Jupiter’s aurora is typically invisible to the naked eye and can only be observed using UV and infrared instruments.” https://www.sci.news/space/juno-unusual-plasma-waves-jupiters-aurora-14150.html

The Southwest is in for peak dog days as a looming heat wave has triggered extreme heat warnings and advisories for 80 million people from the U.S.–Mexico border to southwest Utah.Federal forecasters said a swirling system of warm, descending air over the crosshairs that divides Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico will toast the region through the weekend.“An anomalously strong ridge of high pressure centered over the Four Corners states will lead to a significant heat wave,” the National Weather Service said in a national forecast discussion Tuesday.Extreme heat warnings, which predict certain danger, begin Wednesday morning in Southern California for parts of Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange counties, as well as Palm Springs. The warnings also begin Wednesday for Las Vegas, Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona.
