Videos: Auroras on Jupiter

Science

The Hubble Space Telescope photographed Jupiter in ultraviolet light. Auroras can be seen near one of the planet's poles. Their fluctuations are illustrated in two time-lapse videos (1 [youtube.com], 2 [youtube.com]). The observations are intended to complement measurements of the solar wind in the vicinity of Jupiter, made by the Juno spacecraft.
