Northern lights, or auroras, are not exclusive to Earth. Astronomers have already detected this phenomenon on most planets and many moons in our solar system.

Strong Northern Lights-like activity is the standout feature of today's weather report, which is coming at you from a strange, extrasolar world, instead of a standard TV studio. That is thanks to ...

Using JWST, astronomers uncovered auroras, exotic clouds, and storms on a blazing rogue planet. Brilliant aurora-like displays, much like Earth’s Northern Lights, are the highlight of an unusual ...

Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed auroras warming the rogue planet’s upper atmosphere.

What can auroras on a rogue planet teach astronomers about planetary formation and evolution? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics hopes to address, as an international ...

How will NASA's upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) mission differentiate Earth-sized exoplanets from other exoplanets, specifically Earth-sized exoplanets within the habitable zone, also ...

Scientists have discovered fresh signs that Saturn’s icy moon, Enceladus, could potentially house alien life deep within its subterranean seas, per a groundbreaking new study in the journal Nature ...

Strong Northern Lights-like activity is the standout feature of today’s weather report, which is coming at you from a strange, extrasolar world, instead of a standard TV studio. That is thanks to ...

The striking thing about this is that repeating the procedure on the star turned up no evidence of carbon-based chemicals, even though the system is young enough that it should still have a ...

Discover why stars twinkle at night! Learn how Earth’s atmosphere bends starlight, why planets shine steadily and explore astronomy for fun.

Astronomers from Trinity College Dublin, using the James Webb Space Telescope, have observed strong auroral activity, akin to Earth's Northern Lights, on rogue planet SIMP-0136.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have delivered the first detailed weather report of a nearby rogue world, and it's stormier than expected.
