Is the magnetosphere of Jupiter more energetic in the Juno era?

Ganymede, the only magnetized moon in our Solar System, orbits deep inside the giant magnetosphere of Jupiter where it interacts with the temporally and spatially variable magnetized disk of plasma […]

At Lacq, injection of industrial wastewater identified as the main cause of earthquakes

Each year, numerous earthquakes are detected in the Lacq region of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, without the exact cause being clearly identified. An international study led by Jean Letort, a teacher-researcher at Toulouse […]
