An Auroral Ring on Jupiter

NASA APOD
COSMIC MESSAGE

Jupiter, like many other planets, has aurorae. The Galileo spacecraft captured this false-color image of an auroral ring in optical light around Jupiter's magnetic pole. These rings form when charged particles spiral down the planet's magnetic field lines, exciting gases in the atmosphere.
