Aurorae on Jupiter
Aurorae on Jupiter. Coloured ultraviolet Hubble Space Telescope (HST) image of aurorae (light blue) at the north pole of Jupiter. These are caused when charged particles from the Sun (the solar wind) interact with Jupiters magnetic field. The particles are channelled to the poles, where they collide with gases in Jupiters upper atmosphere, causing them to emit light. Footprints of three of Jupiters moons are also seen as dots of light. These are caused by electric currents produced by the satellites. The prints of Io (far left), Ganymede (lower right) and Europa (below and right of Ganymede s) are seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing aurorae on Jupiter, captured in a stunning colored ultraviolet image by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The ethereal light blue hues illuminate the north pole of this gas giant planet, revealing an awe-inspiring celestial phenomenon. These breathtaking aurorae are formed when charged particles from the Sun, known as the solar wind, interact with Jupiter's magnetic field. The charged particles are directed towards the poles and collide with gases in Jupiter's upper atmosphere, causing them to emit radiant light. As if this spectacle wasn't enough, three distinct dots of light mark the footprints left by some of Jupiter's moons. Io can be seen on the far left, Ganymede occupies the lower right corner, and Europa lies just below and to the right of Ganymede. These moon footprints result from electric currents generated by these satellites as they orbit around their colossal parent planet. This extraordinary image not only captures Jovian beauty but also serves as a testament to our ever-growing understanding of planetary science and astrophysics. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, this remarkable photograph invites us to marvel at nature's cosmic dance while reminding us how much there is still left for humanity to explore and uncover in our vast universe.
