Jupiter’s lights are acting very STRANGE – and NO ONE knows why

THE dazzling lights on Jupiter have been behaving rather peculiar – and even scientists have no idea why.—-By Christine Younan /

Jupiter’s auroras – which are sometimes referred to as polar lights – have been flashing at different times to one another.

This is a lot different to the activity on Earth as the southern and northern lights are similar and approximately mirror to each other.

William Dunn, a stargazer who works at University College London and the Harvard Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, found that the aurora at Jupiter’s north pole pulse every 11 minutes.

“We need to study this further”

William Dunn

But the aurora at the south pole behave more chaotically, brightening and dimming independently of the north.

And Dunn and his colleagues found “hot spots” at the poles are larger than Earth’s.

He said: “We didn’t expect to see Jupiter’s X-ray hot spots pulsing independently as we thought their activity would be coordinated through the planet’s magnetic field.

Top Facts About Asteroids

Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun. The first asteroid was Ceres, discovered by Giuseppe Piazzi in 1801. There are currently over 600,000 known asteroids in our solar system. Most asteroids are found orbiting in the Asteroid Belt, a series of rings located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

“We need to study this further.”The scientists suggested the lights could be produced by electrically charged particles from Jupiter’s moon, as well as the solar wind, a radioactive stream of particles produced by the sun.But this light theory remains a mystery at this stage.

The surface of Mars: could these images prove LIFE exists on the Red Planet?

These images released by NASA show the surface of Mars. They have been pored over by boffins and truthseekers looking for telltale signs that water once flowed on the Red Planet, which would mean that alien life could once have flourish there
