Using data transmitted to Earth by NASA&#8217;s Juno spacecraft, they showed that the direct currents were much weaker than expected and that alternating currents must therefore play a special role. On Earth, on the other hand, a direct current system creates its aurora. Jupiter&#8217;s electric current system is kept going in particular by large centrifugal forces, which hurl ionized sulfur dioxide gas from the gas giant&#8217;s moon Io through the magnetosphere.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-07-alternating-currents-jupiter-aurora.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Alternating currents cause Jupiter&#8217;s aurora<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An international team of researchers has succeeded in measuring the current system responsible for Jupiter&#8217;s aurora.
