Auroras view of Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. It is so large that all the other planets in the Solar System are compatible with it. Even more amazing, we can now see some of the miracles that are happening on this planet. NASA’s Hubble Telescope shared images of Jupiter Auroras in 1998 on its Instagram page.
The event took place on Thursday, almost 23 years ago. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captioned the post that the photos were taken in ultraviolet light. It describes the auroras as an amazing light curtain that appeared in the upper atmosphere of Jupiter. Looking at these images, it seems that there is glowing gas around the north and south poles of Jupiter. More than one lakh Instagram users have liked this post since it was shared yesterday. Followers of NASA’s Hubble Telescope’s Instagram page also comment on the photo.
According to NASA, auroras are formed on Jupiter when high-energy electrons travel through the planet’s magnetic field and upper atmosphere. Atmospheric gases combine in this process to glow. The U.S. space agency says Aurora is similar to Earth’s polar regions. However, images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in ultraviolet light show bright indications of Jupiter’s three largest moons, Io, Conmet and Europa.
Following this, the aurora is the natural light that shines in the sky according to National Geographic. The colors of the auroras change to blue, red, yellow, green, and orange. They slowly change shape like a flying window curtain. The color of the aurora depends on the height at which the ions reach the oxygen atoms. If the contact of ions and oxygen takes place too much in the atmosphere, it produces a red glow. It is the most common green aurora we can see occurring at low altitudes.
However, they can only be seen at night. Auroras usually appear only in the lower polar regions. Auroras are found every night on Earth, in the Arctic and Antarctic. 66.5 degrees north and south of the equator, respectively. The aurora scene that appears in the north is called Aurora Boralis or Aurora Boralis. When it is south it is called Aurora Astralis or South Pole Light.
