💨 Abstract

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope show that Jupiter's auroras are hundreds of times brighter than Earth's. These stunning lights occur when high-energy particles interact with Jupiter's atmosphere near its magnetic poles. The intensity is much greater than Earth's northern lights. Previously, Webb also captured detailed images of Neptune's auroras, first faintly detected by Voyager 2.
