At an astonishing rate, scientists are discovering new and interesting things and keeping up with the news can be nearly impossible.
Jupiter has the largest and most powerful magnetic field of all the planets in our solar system. The field is about 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s, partly due to the solar wind hitting Jupiter with electrically charged particles blowing in from the sun. Jupiter’s magnetic field extends so far that several of its moons orbit within it. Learn more about this in the video below:
