A NASA spacecraft captured the eerie glow of lightning inside a swirling vortex on Jupiter
. The green lightning bolt was seen inside one of the many vortices that cluster near Jupiter’s north pole. Scientists are still trying to understand many facets of Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, including its massive storms and how lightning and lightning-like events occur on the gas giant. Lightning bolts originate from water clouds on Earth, and most of the strikes occur near the equator.
Peering below dense clouds Juno’s orbit around Jupiter is shifting closer to the planet over time, so the spacecraft will closely pass its nightside in the coming months, allowing for more opportunities to spy lightning on the gas giant.
