"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." ...

Using Webb’s near-infrared spectrograph, astronomers have captured new images of Neptune that finally reveal the planet’s mysterious auroral activity. Faint hints of Neptune’s auroras were first ...

"Neptune was the missing piece of the puzzle when it came to detecting auroras on the giant planets," said the European Space Agency.

Scientists observed and captured the first clear evidence of auroras on Neptune using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ...

Astronomers had observed auroras on all other planets in the Solar System, and spotting one in Neptune completes the list.

Even at Neptune's incredible distance from the sun, astronomers have long suspected it has auroras, though they had never seen them until now. The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration of ...

But auroras around our sun’s most distant planet, Neptune, have long eluded astronomers. That has changed with the powerful infrared instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope.

the auroras are shown in the cyan color. Spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope, auroras occur when energetic particles from the sun interact with a planet’s atmosphere, creating a glowing ...

Despite “successful detections” on Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, astronomers had yet to confirm or obtain images of Neptune’s aurora until nearly two years ago, when Webb’s Near-Infrared ...

For the first time ever, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope—humanity’s most powerful eye in space—has captured auroras on Neptune in dazzling detail. Auroras are an atmospheric phenomenon ...

WASHINGTON — Neptune's glowing auroras are captured in the best detail yet by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Hints of auroras were first faintly detected in ultraviolet light during a flyby ...

Neptune lies in the frigid, dark, vast frontier of the outer edges of our solar system, about 3 billion miles away from the sun. For the first time, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured ...
