Measurement of Jupiter’s asymmetric gravity field

Precise Doppler tracking of the Juno spacecraft in its polar orbit around Jupiter is used to determine the planet’s gravity harmonics, showing north–south asymmetry caused by atmospheric and interior flows. Probing the depths of Jupiter The Juno mission set out to probe the hidden properties of Jupi...
