The Galileo spacecraft detected streams of submicron dust particles near Jupiter. Two lines of evidence suggest the Jovian system to be the origin of the dust streams. Detailed modeling of the motion of small charged dust particles under the gravitational forces of the sun, Jupiter, and the solar wind magnetic field's Lorentz force shows that Jovian dust particles with radii smaller than 0.02 micron are strongly affected by the solar wind magnetic field.
