Juno Reveals a Complex Plasma Shield Around Jupiter

NASA’s Juno spacecraft has revealed that Jupiter’s magnetic environment protects the planet from the solar wind through a more complex system than previously understood. Rather than relying on a single region, Jupiter’s shield appears to involve powerful plasma waves and multiple shock regions. These features create a

Artemis I Data Reveals Higher Lunar Radiation Than Expected

NASA’s Artemis I mission has provided new measurements of cosmic radiation near the Moon. The findings show that radiation levels are higher than in Earth orbit, but not by as much as scientists might have expected. The mission also carried tiny experimental detectors that uncovered surprising aspects of how
