(14 May) James Webb telescope reveals ’impossible’ auroras on Jupiter that have astronomers scratching their heads
Scientists looked at Jupiter’s massive auroras using the James Webb and Hubble Space Telescopes — and found a mystery they can’t fully explain.

Bright auroras on Jupiter are captured by Webb Space Telescope.
From @AssociatedPress: "The solar system’s largest planet displays striking dancing lights when high-energy particles from space collide with atoms of gas in the atmosphere near its magnetic poles, similar to how the northern lights are triggered on Earth."

Quick update on my challenge to reach one million steps with Pocket Pikachu!
Yesterday I reached the 125k milestone, about to head out for another walk and climb ever closer...
#Musk 1st announced his intention to build #space-based #internet, which he would eventually call #Starlink, in 2015. He had plans to settle #Mars, …the moons of #Jupiter, & maybe #asteroids too. All those space colonies would have to be connected via #satellite-based communication; Starlink itself might…be adapted for this use. Indeed, Starlink’s terms…ask customers to affirm they “recognize Mars as a free planet & that no Earth-based govt has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities.”

Evening twilight shows the bright stars of the winter constellations setting in the west. Two 'guests' are also in the frame...the moon (grossly overexposed), and Jupiter below it.
Cirrus clouds are moving in from the west, but only block the brightest parts of the twilight sky near the horizon.
The lights of La Luz shine at the bottom of the frame, right of center.
This is a wide angle image (APS-C sensor, 12mm lens), taken on a fixed tripod.
I took a series of images that started in bright twilight and continued to full night. I chose this image because it didn't show too many stars (easier to identify constellations), yet it was mixed with a nice gradient of twilight that was fairly bright near the horizon (with touches of orange and yellow) and rather dark up high.

Jupiter looking at Earth
A Picasso-like face appears to emerge from the turbulent atmosphere in a phenomenon called #pareidolia, in which viewers spy faces and other recognizable objects within random patterns.

#Asteroid Donaldjohanson
Lucy spacecraft snapped a close-up of asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, an 8 km long main belt asteroid, from 1100 km away. Named after the discoverer of the Lucy fossil, this contact binary formed from a gentle collision. Lucy will visit #Jupiter's Trojans after touring the main belt.

Look up and smile!
Tonight, April 25, the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus will align in a rare celestial formation that looks just like a smiley face in the sky. This joyful cosmic event is best seen just after sunset—don’t miss this little moment of magic from the universe.

"This result suggests that in Jupiter-like orbits, most planetary systems may not mirror our solar system," said co-author Youn Kil Jung of the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute, which operates the KMTNet."
I'm thinking big ol' Jupiter might hold the key as to why the inner Solar System is the way it is and why it's different from most other systems we know of so far.
