Auroras on ice giant revealed: Space photo of the day
For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT) has revealed bright auroral activity on the planet Neptune. Capturing the auroral activity on the ice giant has been long in coming, even though similar areas of trapped solar energetic particles have been successfully imaged in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.
