SPACE (KXAN) — New images captured by NASA’s Juno spacecraft are revealing details about storms on Jupiter. The photo, captured on Dec. 30, 2020, shows a flash of green lightning within a ...

and large storms that generate mushballs and lightning. "Every time you look at Jupiter, it's mostly just surface level," Moeckel said. "It's shallow, but a few things -- vortices and these big ...

In a newly released picture, a green bolt of lightning was spotted in the middle of a Jupiter storm. The image was captured in December on Juno's 31st flyby of the planet. While thunderstorms on ...

its nature needs to equalize the temperature differences that result in storms – mixing equatorial heat with the cold poles. Most lightning occurs closer to our equator. Jupiter doesn't have ...

This is despite the two planets' major differences—Jupiter is a huge gas planet while Earth is rocky. It's no secret that lightning occurs on Jupiter, and while it has been difficult to analyze ...
