Jupiter in Radio Waves
Looking like a giant salamander, this false color image of Jupiter shows the radio wave brightness coming from around our Solar System’s largest planet. The shape is caused by charged particles erupted off of its volcanic moon, Io, barreling along Jupiter’s gigantic magnetic field. The data were taken by the Very Large Array (VLA).
