Jupiter's powerful auroras
Juno's Magnetic Field Investigation, which measures Jupiter's magnetic field from orbit, offers a detailed view of Jupiter's outer plasma environment and the electrical currents traveling through it, while Hubble's Imaging Spectrograph measures the brightness of Jupiter's auroras. An artist's illustration of the"tug-of-war" effect created as material ejected from lo travels along Jupiter's magnetic field lines, back toward the planet's poles, and through the planet's upper atmosphere.
Fascinating! ✨
Amazing

It heats up some of the atmosphere a bit (probably mostly at the poles) when this tug of war thing happens.
Interesting to see that an object of almost the size of our moon can make the planet more than 1000x times bigger than our earth more beautiful!
Jupiter,Jupiter,Great Red Spot,King of our planets,exploring you,spacecraft robot. Hydrogen and helium, gases abound,surrounding you,planetary rings are found.Your magnetic tail and moons of plenty,awaiting names,six and twenty.Your chromophores mix with clouds,ammonia enshrouds.
If they do that, I probably shouldn't visit there with my farts.
