Exploring Jupiter: The Juno Mission and Professor Cowley's Research

The video discusses Jupiter as a gas giant that generates significant energy and introduces the Juno mission, which aims to study Jupiter's gravitational field and atmospheric composition. Professor Cowley from Leicester University is involved in the mission, focusing on Jupiter's auroras, which are much more powerful than Earth's. The Juno probe will orbit Jupiter's poles to study these auroras and the radio waves emitted by charged particles. Additionally, the mission will investigate Io, Jupiter's volcanically active moon.
