NASA’s Jupiter probe has captured what is thought to be a bolt of lightning firing on the gas giant’s surface.
A green light, believed to be lightning, emanates from Jupiter as seen by the Juno space probe.
Citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill processed the images from the RAW data taken with the JunoCam instrument that’s attached to Juno. There has been no recorded lightning on Mars, but bright flashes have been witnessed during dust storms and some scientists believe craters on Mars could have been caused by lightning strikes.
Data from Juno has also been used to create 3D renders of Jupiter’s cloud tops that look like “frosted cupcakes.”Over the years, NASA’s Juno probe has captured some of the most beautiful photos of Jupiter which it has been orbiting since 2016.
