Saturn's Crazy X-Rays


Jupiter has x-rays coming out of the north and south poles, but Chandra has discovered that Saturn beams them out from the equator. Scientists are puzzled.

"Chandra's image shows that the X-rays are concentrated near Saturn's equator, a surprising result since Jupiter's X-ray emission is mainly concentrated near the poles. Existing theories cannot easily explain the intensity or distribution of Saturn's X-rays."
