An international team of scientists, led by a PhD researcher from Northumbria University, has made groundbreaking discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter’s northern lights, revealing a ...

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.

While Jupiter's main aurora has a great deal of hot materials, a snapshot showed a cold spot in Io's auroral footprint.

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.
