They appear less often at the north pole. The scientists theorize that a magnetic vortex generated in the ionosphere stirs up and concentrates the hydrocarbon haze that blankets the poles.

The culprit is believed to be the planet's terrifyingly strong magnetic field ... dark UV ovals appear at the planet’s south pole 75 percent of the time. The work, led by Troy Tsubota and ...

The jury is still out on the mechanism behind this though but it may be an interaction between Jupiter’s strong magnetic field which pierces the atmosphere near the poles. Jupiter is the largest ...

This contrasts with the much more commonly used magnetic dipoles, which have two poles and resemble tiny bar magnets. Using this structure, the team was able to accelerate domain walls to speeds of ...

Welcome to the scrapyard, Junkateer! Join Jack, Sam and Jo on their mission to tidy up the planet in this fun KS2 science game. Team up and work scientifically to sort through the scrap pile so ...

while dark ovals appear in only one of eight images taken of the north pole. The dark UV ovals hint at unusual processes taking place in Jupiter's strong magnetic field that propagate down to the ...

Air-raid siren sounds the warning. Air-raid sirens first sounded the warning in London in September 1939. They became an almost daily part of life in the capital a year later during the height of ...
