Strange Radio Waves Emitted from the 4th Largest Moon in the Solar System

Suara.com – Month Jupiter which is the fourth largest natural satellite in the solar system, Io, emits Radio Wave strange.

Experts are trying to find what triggers these radio emissions.

Jupiter has the largest and most powerful magnetic field of all the planets in the solar system.

The magnetic field stretches far to reach several of the planet’s moons orbiting it.

Given that Io is closest to Jupiter, the moon is caught in the gravitational tug of war between Jupiter and two other large moons.

According to NASA, this opposite attraction causes massive internal heat and causes hundreds of volcanic eruptions on the lunar surface.

Volcanoes can release a ton of gas and particles per second into space.

Some of this material splits into electrically charged ions and electrons that are trapped in a magnetic field towards Jupiter’s poles.

Throughout the process, it produces a phenomenon called radio decameter waves or DAM.

Luckily, NASA’s Juno spacecraft was in the right place to listen to the radio waves.

The experts used data from Juno to determine where these radio emissions were coming from.
The data explains the behavior of the massive magnetic field created by the gas giant planet.

According to the team of experts, radio waves coming from outer space can be described as a hollow cone, which has the right magnetic strength and electron density.

The waves spin like a lighthouse and Juno catches them as they pass through the spaceship.

Reported from Space.com, Monday (26/7/2021), radio data also shows that the electrons that create these radio waves emit large amounts of energy.

Twenty -three is bigger than experts expected.

The electrons can also come from other sources, such as from a planet’s magnetic field or the solar wind.
