A suppression of differential rotation in Jupiter’s deep interior

The determination of Jupiter’s even gravitational moments by the Juno spacecraft reveals that more than three thousand kilometres below the cloud tops, differential rotation is suppressed and the gas giant’s interior rotates as a solid body. Probing the depths of Jupiter The Juno mission set out to...
