NASA’s Juno Mission Captures Lightning On Jupiter

Handout - An incredible picture shows lightning on Jupiter. In a vortex near the planet’s north pole, NASA’s Juno space probe mission observed the glow from a bolt of lightning. NASA explain: "On Earth, lightning bolts originate from water clouds, and happen most frequently near the equator, while on Jupiter lightning likely also occurs in clouds containing an ammonia-water solution, and can be seen most often near the poles. In the coming months, Juno’s orbits will repeatedly take it close to Jupiter as the spacecraft passes over the giant planet’s night side, which will provide even more opportunities for Juno’s suite of science instruments to catch lightning in the act." Juno captured the view as it completed its 31st close flyby of Jupiter on Dec. 30, 2020. In this newly released picture, Kevin M. Gill, a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has processed raw data from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. At the time the raw image was taken, Juno was about 19,900 miles (32,000 k
