Lights glow in the skies of Uranus, too. But auroras around our sun’s most distant planet, Neptune, have long eluded astronomers. That has changed with the powerful infrared instruments aboard ...

For the first time, researchers have spotted infrared auroras swirling in Neptune’s atmosphere, verifying decades of scientific speculation. When NASA’s Voyager 2 mission flew by Neptune in ...

New photos of Neptune’s glowing auroras are the most detailed ever captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope – but has also left astronomers with more questions. Auroras can happen on ...

Webb’s detection of auroras on Neptune is the first time astronomers have captured direct evidence of this phenomenon on the planet. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Heidi Hammel (AURA), Henrik Melin ...

"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." For the first time, astronomers have captured direct images of Neptune's elusive ...

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 ...

But now, after decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally detected auroras on Neptune—and the discovery is already reshaping how we understand the planet’s hidden workings.

Neptune's Auroras Are Captured in Great Detail by NASA's Webb Telescope WASHINGTON (AP) — Neptune's glowing auroras are captured in the best detail yet by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

Experts are not sure why Neptune's auroras can be seen around the planet's "mid-latitudes," and not the north and south poles NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Heidi Hammel (AURA), Henrik Melin (Northumbria ...

However, despite the similarities with auroral activites on other planets in the solar system, Neptune’s auroras have a character all of their own. Because of the way the planet orbits ...

(CNN) - New images from the James Webb Space Telescope are showing auroras around Neptune for the first time. These images could not be seen by earlier telescopes or space crafts. The near ...

In a study published on Wednesday in the journal Nature Astronomy, scientists say unique auroras are visible on either side of Neptune’s equator. This discovery will allow scientists to study ...
