Is this not the most amazing image of Jupiter you've ever seen? 😲 It's because this giant planet has northern and southern lights called aurorae! You can see them near Jupiter’s north and south poles, as observed in @NASAWebb's new infrared image (left) and in ultraviolet by @NASAHubble (right). Aurorae form when charged particles are caught by and accelerated along the planet’s magnetic field. They spiral toward the magnetic poles where they react with molecules in the atmosphere, causing them to glow. 📸: NASA, ESA, and J. Nichols (University of Leicester); Acknowledgment: A.
