Deutsch: Dieses Falschfarbenbild des Jupiter im Röntgenspektrum von der NASA-Sonde Chandra zeigt Konzentrationen von Polarlicht-Röntgenstrahlung nahe den magnetischen Polen. English: This false-colour image of Jupiter in X-ray spectrum shows concentrations of auroral X-rays near the north and south magnetic poles. Chandra observed Jupiter for its entire 10-hour rotation. |

JPEG file comment | Chandra's image of Jupiter provided some major surprises to scientists who study X-rays emanating from the planet. During the 10-hour observation which allowed Jupiter to complete an entire rotation, an X-ray hot spot that pulsated every 45 minutes was discovered near the north magnetic pole. Earlier theories held that X-rays were produced when particles flowing from Jupiter's moon Io became trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field. Now it appears that the particles must come from a much more distant source, such as the Sun, to explain the observed hot spot and pulsations. |
