Aurorae and Lightning on Jupiter
Jupiter has aurorae and lightning, just like Earth. Unlike Earth, Jupiter's lightning occurs mostly near its poles. The Juno spacecraft, in orbit around Jupiter since 2016, captured this image of a lightning storm near Jupiter's north pole. This image helps scientists understand the differences between the two planets' electrical activity.
