Another one of NASA's mission has caught my eye, and that mission is Juno's mission to Jupiter. I find it interesting because since NASA has sent Juno out to discover more about the large red planet they have found auroras on the planet. I'm curious to know if other planets aside from just Earth and Jupiter have auroras as well. I have also found out that "Jupiter has the most powerful auroras in the solar system."; which in comparison makes Earth's own auroras look rather insignificant. While Earth's auroras are quite beautiful, I'm wondering if Jupiter's auroras are the same; both in color and size. I'm sure Jupiter's auroras would be much bigger but are they as colorful? From the picture I would infer that Jupiter's auroras are both a red and dark green in color, which is interesting compared to Earth's bright green and purple auroras. All in all though both planets have beautiful auroras and are exciting finds in the final frontier.
