NASA Juno Findings — Jupiter’s Jet-Streams Are Unearthly
Data collected by NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter indicate that the atmospheric winds of the gas giant run deep into its atmosphere and last longer than similar atmospheric processes found on Earth. The findings will improve understanding of Jupiter’s interior structure, core mass and, eventually, its origin.
