Hubble Captures Jupiter's Gigantic Auroras
2025-03-22

The Hubble Space Telescope is observing Jupiter's auroras, which are immense, hundreds of times more energetic than Earth's, and continuous. These auroras are created by high-energy particles colliding with atmospheric gas atoms. Combined with data from the Juno spacecraft, this observation will help scientists better understand how the solar wind and other sources influence Jupiter's auroras.
