Recently-published results in Geophysical Research Letters highlight the work of researchers from Northumbria University. Led by Katie Knowles, Ph.D., this international team gained valuable insights into the physical characteristics of Jupiter’s northern lights through critical spectral analyses.
Influence of Jupiter’s Moons
Jupiter’s northern lights are unique and distinct from Earth’s, in that several of Jupiter’s moons play a key role in their evolution and characteristics. Jupiter’s four largest moons–Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto–each leave their own footprint on the northern lights of their parent planet.
