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.

Mission Control will be packed with experts, specialists and flight directors around-the-clock as NASA takes on its most ...

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.

On March 8, 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. [‘On This Day in Space’ Video ...

Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.

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 ...

Jupiter’s northern lights are the most powerful in the solar system, but new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed surprising details about how they work. Scientists ...
