NASA has released a stunning image taken by the Juno space probe, showing the glow of lightning inside a vortex that formed near Jupiter’s north pole. Lightning occurs on Earth, according to Russia Today, when positive and negative charges arise from colliding ice crystals and water droplets inside clouds, which eventually separate due to convection forces. In the case of Jupiter, these phenomena occur when gases, including water vapor, rise from the depths of the planet, and as they freeze, ice particles move out of the droplets, ultimately resulting in a lightning-like discharge. And gas giant lightning is most frequently detected near the poles. And NASA’s Juno probe continues to give us a fascinating look at Jupiter’s weather. The latest images show the glow of lightning inside a vortex that formed near the planet’s north pole.
