Creation Moment 9/22/2012 - Solar System Diversity:Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus

Here is a look of some of the diversity of the magnetic fields designed in our solar system by our Creator...the diversity itself speaks to DESIGN with a purpose...especially interesting is the use of the moons of Jupiter...

JUPITER
"Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system. Its core -- believed to be comprised of liquid metallic hydrogen that conducts the necessary electrical current -- along with the magnetic particles Jupiter contains, creates a magnetic field. The strength of the planet's magnetic field causes the particles trapped within the field to produce radio waves, which its many moons help amplify into space." eHow
SATURN
"A planet's magnetic field doesn't have to align with its axis, but it generally does. Saturn's deviates from its axis by only 1 degree. Its polarity is opposite that of Earth, meaning that if someone held a compass on Saturn, the arrow would point south instead of north. Its magnetic field is almost 600 times that of Earth's magnetic field, and its center -- made of liquid hydrogen that moves quickly around a rocky core -- conducts the electricity needed for a magnetic field." eHow
URANUS
"One of the ways Uranus differs from most of the other planets in the solar system is that its poles are on its sides, resulting in no changing of days and nights on the planet. Because of this, the magnetic field surrounding Uranus closely aligns with its equator, instead of its poles. This results in a wobbly movement in the field. It has also taken an odd shape, complete with a long tail that turns along with the planet." eHow
 ...praise him, all ye stars of light.
