'Brilliant curtains of light': NASA shares pic of Jupiter's northern and southern auroras

NASA on January 21 shared a throwback im of Jupiter’s rrn and sourn auroras captured by Hubble Telescope, released in January nearly 23 years ago. Taking to its official Instagram handle, ncy wrote that largest planet Jupiter’s rrn and sourn auroras were captured in ultraviolet light by ncy's telescope, Hubble. NASA ded that auroras are “brilliant curtains of light" that form in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere on rear ends of its two poles. 

Jupiters auroras, according to NASA, emit violet X-rays blazes that have been center of mystery for astromers. rrn and sourn blanket of lights pulsate out of sync, generating energetic winds carrying electrically charged particles. Scientists have been conducting research about source of origin of mystic auroras that eject out of rth and south poles of solar system’s largest planet. Meanwhile, X-rays in Jupiter’s rrn lights are also a subject of mystery and scientists speculate that perhaps electron particles in Jupiter’s auroras split into oxygen ions as y hit Jupiter’s atmosphere at an estimated speed of about 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) per second, causing X-rays emission. 

“se auroras are very dramatic and among most active I have ever seen”, said Jonathan Nichols from University of Leicester, UK, and principal investigator of aurora’s study in a NASA release. “It almost seems as if Jupiter is throwing a firework party for imminent arrival of Ju.”

Extraordinary 'vivid glow' 

In iconic im, one can see vibrant streaks of lights enclosing around poles of largest planet kwn for its colourful storms and giant Great Red Spot.  lights present an extraordinary vivid glow as high-energy particles enter planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles. NASA’s post garnered close to 77,000 likes, and a slew of reactions from cosmo buffs as y found phemen intriguing. “Just unbelievable .looks amazing,” one wrote in comments thre. “wow,” ar said. “So wild to see auroras on or planets,” third ded.
