"It was so stunning to not just see the auroras, but the detail and clarity of the signature really shocked me." ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that NASA's Voyager 2 probe began decades ago.

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

The planet’s elusive aurorae are much colder than expected, which is how they evaded detection for so long.

A new study modeled the chemistry of TOI-270 d, an exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it could be a giant rocky planet shrouded in a thick, hot atmosphere. TOI-270 d is ...

Hammel and her colleagues used JWST’s NIRSpec, a powerful infrared imaging tool, to capture spectroscopic images of Neptune and analyse the different wavelengths of light emitted by the planet.

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

Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope, captured the first direct images of Neptune's auroras, revealing light shows previously believed to exist but unseen. These auroras appear at ...
