Jupiter’s throwing a firework party for Juno arrival

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured new images of Jupiter’s glowing aurora swirling around one of the planet’s poles, as part of a wider observation programme of the gas giant.

NASA’s Juno spacecraft is expected to descend into Jupiter on 4 July at 1757 BST, when Mission Juno will commence. The trip to Jupiter is part of a wider quest to understand how the Solar System and life within it formed billions of years ago.
