In 2017 this body was shown to be surrounded by cold blobs of protons by the JADE instrument. The convergence of currents around this body forms a radially outward current known as the CEC. A prominent feature of this body is produced by the dissociation of sulfur dioxide ejected by an interior moon and is known as the plasma torus. This planet’s magnetosphere is generated by a rotating layer of metallic hydrogen and interacts locally with magnetic moments of Io and Ganymede. For 10 points, identify this planet that has the largest magnetic structure in the solar system, the fifth from the Sun.
