Earth’s beautiful northern and southern lights are the result of auroras: when high-energy charged particles from the sun hit gases in our upper atmosphere, making them glow in brilliant colors as they release energy from the collision.

NASA’s James Webb telescope is offering a new look at Neptune’s aurora, leading to a new mystery involving the eighth planet from the sun.

Astronomers have captured direct images of exoplanets in a star system 130 light years away, providing clues on gas giant formation.
