Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims

Jupiter’s Earth-Sized Storms Might Be Caused by Magnetic Tornadoes, Study Claims

Magnetic vortices descending from Jupiter’s ionosphere into its deep atmosphere are believed to trigger the formation of ultraviolet-absorbing anticyclonic storms, according to a study published on November 26 in Nature Astronomy. These storms, appearing as dark ovals, span the size of Earth and have been observed primarily in Jupiter’s polar…

Solar Activity Increase Results in Shortens Lifespan of Binar CubeSats

Solar Activity Increase Results in Shortens Lifespan of Binar CubeSats

Last week, three small Australian satellites from Curtin University’s Binar Space Program re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and burned up far earlier than expected, cutting short valuable research opportunities. Launched with an initial lifespan of six months, these CubeSats – named Binar-2, Binar-3, and Binar-4 – only lasted two months in low…
