They get into a bit more detail on this surprising find.  The hubble keeps finding the weirdest stuff and we will continue to report on it:

Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, is best known for its colourful storms, the most famous being theGreat Red Spot. Now astronomers have focused on another beautiful feature of the planet, using the ultraviolet capabilities of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.

The extraordinary vivid glows shown in the new observations are known as auroras[1]. They are created when high energy particles enter a planet’s atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms of gas. As well as producing beautiful images, this programme aims to determine how various components of Jupiter’s auroras respond to different conditions in the solar wind, a stream of charged particles ejected from the Sun.

Do you have any opinions on this or any comments to post?

We think this one is gonna get a lot more attention going forward.
