Check out this stunning view of Jupiter's auroras snapped by Hubble

Hubble captures stunning light shows in Jupiter's atmosphere.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured this view of Jupiter's auroras, one of the beautiful features of the largest planet in the solar system, in 2016.

Aurora's are stunning light shows in a planet's atmosphere. They are created when high-energy particles enter a planet's atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms of gas.

Earth isn’t the only planet that has auroras!When charged particles from the #Sun strike Jupiter, they produce auroras hundreds of times more energetic than those on Earth.@NASAHubble captured this view of Jupiter’s ultraviolet aurora.Find out more:https://t.co/HI7RJ1D0HS pic.twitter.com/FeJVsm8gpW

Jupiter's auroras are not only massive in size, but also hundreds of times more energetic than auroras on Earth. While auroras on Earth may last a few hours, they never cease. According to NASA, on Earth, the most intense auroras are caused by solar storms - when charged particles rain down on the upper atmosphere, excite gases and cause them to glow red, green and purple - but Jupiter has an additional source for its auroras. The gas giant's strong magnetic field grabs charged particles from its surroundings.

This image combines two different Hubble observations. The auroras on Jupiter were photographed during a series of Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph far-ultraviolet-light observations taking place as NASA's Juno spacecraft approaches and enters into orbit around Jupiter.

Auroras are not just something that happen on Jupiter and Earth, they also occur on Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Jupiter's moon Ganymede.

For the unversed, the Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. The premium space-based observatory has been providing stunning high-resolution images of the cosmos at different wavelengths of light since 1990 and it has made more than 1.5 million observations over the course of its lifetime.
