New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth’s Northern ...

JWST observations of Saturn's atmosphere revealed unprecedented details of its aurora and upper atmosphere, including previously unseen, complex structures. In the ionosphere (1100 km altitude), dark, ...

Auroras will do what they will do, forecast or no. Two days ago, NOAA space weather forecasters predicted a quiet night last night, but there's no question the aurora was out. We received a couple ...

Just as the static on an AM radio grows louder with the approach of a summer lightning storm, strong radio emissions accompany bright auroral spots — similar to Earth’s northern lights — on the planet ...

As we approach mid-month, the moon visits two bright planets, Saturn's rings narrow and we get a final shot at Comet Lemmon.

At Earth, the ionosphere is known to supply substantial plasma to the magnetosphere, especially during geomagnetic storms. This outflow plays a critical role in shaping magnetospheric dynamics. In ...
