Studying magnetic fields across the Solar System is a key means to understanding more about its planets and moons.
The study of magnetic fields has been key to missions like the NASA Cassini mission at Saturn, and will be key to upcoming missions like the JUICE mission at Jupiter's icy moons.
In this episode of the Radio Astronomy podcast, Professor Michele Dougherty of Imperial College London reveals what we can learn by studying the magnetic fields of Solar System bodies.
She discusses why the Cassini mission was so important and what JUICE might discover at Jupiter's icy moons.
And how studying magnetic fields will be vital in the search for habitable conditions across the Solar System.
