Space.com on MSNAuroras on ice giant revealed: Space photo of the dayFor the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT) has revealed bright auroral activity on the planet Neptune. Capturing the auroral activity on the ice giant has been long in coming, even though similar areas of trapped solar energetic particles have been successfully imaged in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.
This is called an Einstein Ring, named after scientist Albert Einstein, who predicted this effect in his Theory of Relativity.
The powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just completed the first of two planned observations of the infamous "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4, which will make a perilously close approach ...
