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 ...

Being the furthest planet from Earth, we don't know much about Neptune, but recent observations have revealed something glowing in its sky.

However, at Neptune’s surface, the gravity is only about 1.1 times the gravity we experience on Earth. In other words, if something weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would find it weighs 110 pounds on ...

The most elusive planetary aurora in the Solar System has finally been revealed in all its gently glowing glory.

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 ...

This colder temperature suggests why Neptune's auroras have remained undetected for so long as it would result in much fainter auroras. This cooling suggests that the region of the atmosphere can ...

The James Webb space telescope at NASA has offered an unprecedented view of "bright auroral activity" on Neptune for the first time. The new mystery involving the eighth planet from the sun in the ...

For the first time ever, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured vivid auroras swirling in Neptune’s upper atmosphere—revealing a phenomenon that had eluded astronomers for decades. As reported ...

For a long time, it was unclear what auroral activity, if any, might be present on Uranus and Neptune, so far from the Sun: Uranus orbits at around 19 times the distance between the Sun and Earth ...
