Creation Moment 8/9/2021 - Jupiter's Lesson in Design

All these interconnected Mechanisms that function to run even an uninhabited planet that still serves a purpose (whether we understand it or not) shows Design, Thought and Planning put into it's Creation...Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.. Hebrews 11:3

"The upper atmosphere of Jupiter is hotter than expected from the amount of sunlight that it receives: the average temperature should be about minus 73 degrees Celsius; instead, the measured value soars to around 426 degrees Celsius. The source of this extra heat
has remained elusive for 50 years, causing planetary scientists to refer to the discrepancy as an ‘energy crisis.’ Now, using data from NASA’s Juno spacecraft, the W.M. Keck Observatory and JAXA’s Hisaki satellite, researchers have discovered the likely source of this thermal boost.
 
Aurorae occur when electrically charged particles are caught in a planet’s magnetic field. 
----These spiral along invisible lines of force in the magnetic field towards the planet’s magnetic poles, striking atoms and molecules in the atmosphere to release light and energy.
----At Jupiter, material erupting from its volcanic moon, Io, leads to the most powerful aurora in the Solar System and enormous heating in the upper atmosphere over the polar regions of the planet.
----The idea that the aurora could be the source of Jupiter’s mysterious energy had been proposed previously but observations have been unable to confirm or deny this, until now.
----We found that Jupiter’s intense aurorae, the most powerful in the Solar System, are responsible for heating the entire planet’s upper atmosphere to surprisingly high temperatures,” said Dr. James O’Donoghue.
 
Models of the atmospheres of gas giants suggest that they work like a giant refrigerator, with heat energy drawn from the equator towards the pole, and deposited in the lower atmosphere in these pole regions. These new findings suggest that fast-changing aurorae may drive waves of energy against this poleward flow, allowing heat to reach the equator." SciNews
