Investigating how life-friendly worlds might form around gas giants would be incomplete without also studying #Jupiter itself.

#ESAJuice will use its unique instruments to study Jupiter's atmosphere and answer questions such as:
🌪️What's the weather & climate like?
🌫️How does an atmosphere work with no solid surface?
🌡️What makes the upper atmosphere so hot?

#Jupiter has a magnetic field about 20 times stronger than Earth's & one million times larger in volume.
#ESAJuice will study the region around Jupiter dominated by this magnetic field, the magnetosphere, to discover how the environment shapes conditions on the icy moons.

It wasn’t until 1979 that Jupiter’s subtle ring system was discovered.
#ESAJuice will image the rings in 3D from different angles & analyse them at various wavelengths to better understand their physics and chemistry.
