Jupiter's moons leave cold 'footprints' in the planet's auroras, James Webb Space Telescope finds
Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.
Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how Jupiter reacts to its moons through auroral footprints, plasma interactions, and rapid electron flows detected in infrared measurements.
Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.

James Webb Space Telescope reveals strange features of auroral footprints of Jupiter's moon Io
While Jupiter's main aurora has a great deal of hot materials, a snapshot showed a cold spot in Io's auroral footprint.
Jupiter’s icy moons may have been seeded with the chemical ingredients for life from the very beginning. An international ...
An international team of scientists, led by a Ph.D. researcher from Northumbria University, has made further discoveries about a spectacular feature of Jupiter's northern lights, revealing a ...
“Our findings suggest that Jupiter’s moons did not form as chemically pristine worlds,” Mousis said. “Instead, they may have accreted, or accumulated, a significant inventory of COMs at birth, ...
