Scientists used the Webb telescope to make a video of Uranus auroras

Scientists have mapped the upper atmosphere of Uranus in detail, revealing a cooler, thinner, and more unevenly charged layer around the planet than expected.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a joint observatory of NASA and its European and Canadian counterparts, researchers watched Uranus make nearly a full spin in space, capturing faint glows from molecules high above the clouds. The study resulted in an unprecedented timelapse video of nearly one full Uranian day, which can be watched further down in this story.
