Jupiter was once double in size and 50 times the magnetic power; key details inside: Study

New research reveals that Jupiter was once nearly twice its current size with a magnetic field 50 times stronger. This intense magnetism, capable of disabling spacecraft, significantly influenced the early solar system's architecture. The findings, based on the orbits of Jupiter's inner moons, support the core accretion model and offer insights for understanding exoplanetary systems and future missions.
