Scientists looked at Jupiter’s massive auroras using the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes — and found a mystery they can’t fully explain.

In a recent groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered new details about Jupiter’s auroras, shedding light on the planet’s magnetosphere in ways never before possible.

Jupiter's stunning auroras are hundreds of times brighter than those seen on Earth, as pictured in new images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope.
