Juno reveals most detailed view of Jupiter's bow shock

A University of Iowa-led team used NASA's Juno mission to capture the most detailed observations yet of Jupiter's bow shock. It differs markedly from Earth's, which could help explain shock physics in dying stars. The study appears in Nature Communications.

• Juno provided the most detailed data on Jupiter's bow shock
• Jupiter's shock structure differs from Earth's
• Findings may clarify shocks around dying stars
• The study was published in Nature Communications
