Cyclones on Jupiter and a moon with flowing magma: NASA Juno probe's latest discoveries are awesome

NASA's Juno mission has yielded groundbreaking discoveries about Jupiter. At Jupiter's north pole, eight cyclones, larger than any on Earth, orbit a central cyclone, exhibiting a unique 'bouncing' interaction. Juno's observations also revealed the most energetic volcanic eruption ever recorded on Jupiter's moon, Io, and detected subsurface magma flows, explaining Io's volcanic activity. These findings, presented at the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, provide unprecedented insights into the dynamics of both Jupiter and its moon.
