The Hubble Just Caught These “Light Formations” on Jupiter

no way?

Apparently there are more surprises in our own solar system then we can imagine.  Many are familioar with the famous red Jupiter spot that seems to keep going.  And that is mysterious enough as most astronomers cannot completely explain it.  And now you can add another Jupiter mystery:

Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study auroras — stunning light shows in a planet’s atmosphere — on the poles of the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter. This observation programme is supported by measurements made by NASA’s Juno spacecraft, currently on its way to Jupiter.

Is that too much or what who would have suspected something like this?

Let’s check out a cool video of this bizarre light formation on Jupiter on page 2
