NASA’s Juno mission has found a world of cyclones at Jupiter’s north Jovian pole, a area of cooler stratospheric haze. The cyclones drift to the pole via a course of the researchers seek advice from as “beta drift” by way of JunoCam and Jovian Infrared Aurora Mapper. The cyclones oscillate round their centres and may drift clockwise across the pole. Juno has additionally been making recurring flybys of the innermost Jovian moon, Io, revealing proof of subterranean magma flows beneath its floor. These cooling flows might clarify how Io’s volcanoes erupt, as about 10% of the moon’s subsurface has these flows.
