Not exact matches

«Juno's gravity field measurements differ significantly from what we expected, which has implications for the distribution of heavy elements in the interior, including the existence and mass of Jupiter's core,» Bolton said.

On a future flyby, Juno will try to use gravity data to detect the storm at depths of thousands of kilometers.

The Juno team discovered that very close to the planet, Jupiter's magnetic field, its auroras and its gravitational field (that is, the characteristics of the planet's gravity at different points in space) all provided surprises.

Coming as close as 5000 kilometers to the 140,000 - kilometer - diameter gas ball, Juno and it's gravity - gauging system should measure the mass of any rocky core at the center of Jupiter.

Here we report measurements of Jupiter's gravity harmonics (both even and odd) through precise Doppler tracking of the Juno spacecraft in its polar orbit around Jupiter.

To help answer this question Juno will determine the content and mass of Jupiter's core using its Gravity Science and magnetometer instruments to measure Jupiter's gravitational and magnetic fields.
