Auroral Lights Around Jupiter

383508 01: A curtain of glowing gas is wrapped around Jupiter''s north pole like a lasso December 19, 2000 in a Hubble telescope photo. The curtain of light, called an aurora, is produced when high-energy electrons race along the planet''s magnetic field and into the upper atmosphere. The electrons excite atmospheric gases, causing them to glow. The aurora resembles the same phenomenon that crowns Earth''s polar regions. (Photo by NASA/Newsmakers)
