Jupiter Magnetosphere

When scientists and engineers want to send commands to a spacecraft in deep space, they turn to the Deep Space Network.

For hundreds of years, this gaseous giant planet appeared shrouded in colorful bands of clouds extending from dusk to dawn, referred to as zones and belts.
