🔭 Webb spots Neptune's auroras, finds cold atmosphere

Scientists achieved the first definitive detection of Neptune's auroras using the James Webb Space Telescope. This discovery was made while observing the distant planet in June 2023, by NASA and the research team. Webb measured a temperature of about 358 kelvin, contrasting sharply with Voyager 2's 1989 estimate of around 750 kelvin. This suggests the thin gas high above Neptune was significantly cooler in 2023 than in 1989, though no complete explanation exists. Researchers conclude this difference reflects two separate epochs, not a steady cooling rate. 🪐
