whoa!

The surprises in our very own solar system never cease to amaze.  Many are familiar 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?

And what do you think is a trippier phenomenon the potential of a “Planet X” or these strange lights?

Let’s check out an awesome video of this bizarre light formation on Jupiter on page 2
