American Geophysical Union AMA: Hi Reddit, I am Andrew Yau, Editor of Geophysical Research Letters, here to talk about Jupiter and the exciting findings from NASA's Juno mission. Ask Me Anything!

See the source article by following the link below:

I am Andrew Yau, Professor of Physics at University of Calgary, Canada, and Editor of Geophysical Research Letters (GRL), a research journal published by AGU focusing on high-impact scientific advances in all major geoscience disciplines. I am a space scientist. I design satellite instruments such as ion mass spectrometers, and I am interested in the effects of weather in space around the Earth - and other planets. For example, how and why do solar storms cause the heating of the upper atmosphere and its escape into space here on Earth? How about on Venus, Mars, and Jupiter? How does the solar wind produce the aurora, and the associated electrical currents in the ionosphere here on Earth? How about on Jupiter and Saturn, which also have an internal magnetic field?

I’ll be back at 12 EDT to answer your questions. Ask Me Anything!

The AGU AMA series is conducted by the Sharing Science program. Sharing Science: By scientists, for everyone. More at sharingscience.agu.org.
