Juno spacecraft captures rare neon green lightning on Jupiter's north pole.

NASA's Juno spacecraft captured an image of a green lightning bolt inside a swirling vortex on Jupiter during its 31st close flyby of the gas giant on December 30, 2020. Scientists are still trying to understand many facets of Jupiter, including its massive storms and how lightning and lightning-like events occur on the gas giant. Juno's ongoing investigation will help scientists gain a greater understanding of the largest planet in the solar system and its distinctive features.
