Take a look at Jupiter’s Earth-sized aurora
Posted by staff / July 4, 2016
Think aurora displays on Earth are impressive? The view from above is even better, especially on Jupiter.
This shot was caught by the Hubble Space Telescope, and the beautiful aurora covers an area about the size of our own planet.
As PetaPixel explains:
These light shows at Jupiter’s poles actually never stop, revealed NASA, they’re always available for study and capture. The image below was created by combining an earlier Hubble photograph of Jupiter itself with new images of the auroras captured by the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph at the far end of the ultraviolet light spectrum.
