Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how Jupiter reacts to its moons through auroral footprints, plasma interactions, and rapid electron flows detected in infrared measurements.
Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.
Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.
An international team of scientists, led by a Ph.D. researcher from Northumbria University, has made further discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter's northern lights, revealing a ...
While Jupiter's main aurora has a great deal of hot materials, a snapshot showed a cold spot in Io's auroral footprint.

The findings suggest that the gas giant's atmosphere reacts instantly to activity involving its orbiting moons.
We talked to members of Apple's Vision Pro design team to find out how Environments so effectively augment reality.
Using the NIRSpec data, planetary scientists measured the physical properties of the auroral footprints of Jupiter’s two innermost Galilean moons, Io and Europa, including the local temperature and ...
