Fact Sheet
High Lights
A brilliant aurora glows around the north magnetic pole of Jupiter in this Hubble Space Telescope image. Although Jupiter's "northern lights" are much stronger than Earth's, they emit most of their energy in wavelengths that are invisible to human eyes. Hubble used an ultraviolet detector to snap this image. The aurora is much wider than Earth. [NASA/ESA/John T. Clarke (University of Michigan)]
