NASA’s Juno Mission captures lightning on Jupiter

NASA's Juno mission has captured lightning on Jupiter, the agency said. Juno captured the view as it completed its 31st close flyby of Jupiter on December 30, 2020. The image shows a vortex near Jupiter's north pole. The spacecraft's JunoCam instrument observed the glow from a bolt of lightning. In 2022, citizen scientist Kevin M. Gill processed the image from raw data from the JunoCam.
