Lightning on Jupiter was detected by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979, a new study says that lightning strikes on the gas giant are similar to those on Earth. Spacecraft — including Juno, which ...

The lightning photo was captured as Juno was completing its 31st close flyby of Jupiter on Dec. 30, 2020. Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill processed the image from raw data from the JunoCam ...

Artist's concept of lightning strikes in Jupiter's northern hemisphere, with the blackness of space in the background. Lightning crackles to life and evolves on Jupiter the same way as it does on ...

Lightning storms on Jupiter are much more frequent, and much less alien, than previously thought, a pair of new studies suggests. The first evidence of lightning on Jupiter was detected nearly 40 ...

New images captured by NASA's Juno spacecraft are revealing details about storms on Jupiter. The photo, captured on December 30th, 2020, shows a flash of green lightning within a storm on gas giant.

Lightning was first recorded on Jupiter when NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft flew past the planet in 1979 and recorded very low-frequency radio emissions. Until now, there's been no explanation for ...

Jupiter, much farther from the sun, creates most of its heat internally, leading to different convection patterns that drive lightning to the poles (SN: 3/31/18, p. 10).

The research, “Small Lightning Flashes From Shallow Electrical Storms on Jupiter,” was directed by Heidi N. Becker, the Radiation Monitoring Investigation lead of NASA’s Juno mission.

We’ve known for a while lightning exists on Jupiter—NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft first detected low-frequency radio emissions from the planet in March of 1979.

So, in a sense, Jupiter’s lightning is more similar to Earth’s than scientists thought—it happens about as frequently, and produces similar radio emissions. But there are new mysteries.

NASA's space probe Juno might have just cracked the code on Jupiter's mysterious lightning. In the data from Juno’s first eight passes by the planet, the spacecraft’s Microwave Radiometer ...
