SUBJ: Pairs Of Ghostly Spots Sweep Across Jupiter

Atop Hawaii's Mauna Kea, NASA's Infra-red Telescope Facility
has detected a pair of infrared-bright spots that race across
Jupiter's upper atmosphere in tune with the motion of Io, one
of Jupiter's large, Galilean satellites. This synchronism
suggests some sort of energy interchange between Io and the
top of Jupiter's atmosphere. The theory now in vogue states
that Jupiter's rotating magnetic field induces a voltage across
2300-mile-diameter Io, resulting in an electrical current of
some 5 million amperes flowing between Io and Jupiter, some
262,000 miles away. In this bizarre electrical circuit, the
two moving "terminals" on Jupiter, in the northern and southern
hemispheres, are heated by the current flow and show up as fuzzy
infrared-bright spots.

(Cowen, R.; "Jupiter and Io: Infrared Spots Mark Link," Science News,
144: 325, 1993.)

Comment. In passing, it should be remarked that Io is mantled
by a cloud of electrically conducting sodium vapor. A weird
moon in other respects, too, Io occasionally casts double
shadows on Jupiter's upper atmosphere during transits. See
AJX4 in The Moon and the Planets. In addition, in AJX2,
infrared-hot shadows of the satellites Ganymede and Europa
are mentioned. Very strange!
