Magnetism

The Earth, Saturn Uranus and Neptune all have magnetic fields, but Jupiter has the most powerful one, thousands of times stronger than the Earth’s magnetic field.
It extends several thousand kilometres in the direction of the Sun and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the other direction. Jupiter’s magnetosphere, by volume is the largest in the solar system after the heliosphere. Whereas the earth’s magnetic field is caused by a core of molten iron and nickel, the magnetosphere of the planet Jupiter is apparently caused by electrical currents in the planet’s outer core composed of liquid metallic hydrogen. It is a so large that if it could be seen it would be four times the size of a full moon.
Oxygen becomes magnetic when close to absolute zero, there also may be other gases that do. When an electric current flows, it continues to flow until it is stopped. An indication of this can be seen, if a direct current say on a battery is disconnected, there is often a spark. This is because the direct current is attempting to continue to flow. This may explain why Birkeland currents in the universe can extend for light years in length.
