The dazzling dawn of Jupiter are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on earth, new images of James Webb space telescope reveal.
THE The largest planet in the solar system Displays the striking dance fires when high energy particles in space collide with gas atoms in the atmosphere near its magnetic poles.
The aurora of Jupiter and the lights of the north and southern earth are all fueled by high -energy particles ejected from the sun during the solar storms. But the lights of Jupiter are even higher because the high magnetic field of the planet also captures the particles thrown into space from massive volcanoes on its Moon IO.
Webb previously captured the brilliant dawn of Neptune in the best detail to date, many decades after being slightly detected during an overview of the spacecraft travel 2.
The webb telescope captured the auroral features varying quickly using a unique infrared camera.
The planet's study was carried out on December 25, 2023 by a team of scientists led by Jonathan Nichols from the University of Leicester in the United Kingdom. The results of their study were published today in the journal Nature communications.
