(CNN) The aurora borealis, or northern lights, are Earth s greatest light show, dazzling those lucky enough to see them in the northernmost reaches of our planet.
It s a phenomenon shared by other planets in our solar system, including the largest, Jupiter, which is bathed in spectacular color at its poles.
Characterized by massive pulsating X-ray flares, Jupiter s northern lights were first discovered 40 years ago. Astronomers have long sought to explain the mechanism behind these auroras. NASA has called them a powerful mystery.
