"Neptune was the missing piece of the puzzle when it came to detecting auroras on the giant planets," said the European Space Agency.

Using Webb’s near-infrared spectrograph, astronomers have captured new images of Neptune that finally reveal the planet’s mysterious auroral activity. Faint hints of Neptune’s auroras were first ...

Scientists observed and captured the first clear evidence of auroras on Neptune using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ...

Lights glow in the skies of Uranus, too. But auroras around our sun’s most distant planet, Neptune, have long eluded astronomers. That has changed with the powerful infrared instruments aboard ...

NASA unveiled the first visuals of auroras on Neptune, captured by the James Webb Telescope. These auroras provide crucial insights into the planet's interaction with solar particles. The images also ...

"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." For the first time, astronomers have captured direct images of Neptune's elusive ...

Experts are not sure why Neptune's auroras can be seen around the planet's "mid-latitudes," and not the north and south poles NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Heidi Hammel (AURA), Henrik Melin (Northumbria ...

But now, after decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally detected auroras on Neptune—and the discovery is already reshaping how we understand the planet’s hidden workings.

For the first time, researchers have spotted infrared auroras swirling in Neptune’s atmosphere, verifying decades of scientific speculation. When NASA’s Voyager 2 mission flew by Neptune in ...

The photo at left is an enhanced-color image of Neptune from the Hubble Space Telescope. At the right, that image is combined ...

Even at Neptune's incredible distance from the sun, astronomers have long suspected it has auroras, though they had never seen them until now. The James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration of ...

Neptune lies in the frigid, dark, vast frontier of the outer edges of our solar system, about 3 billion miles away from the sun. For the first time, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured ...
