NASA's James Webb Telescope shows amazing new details of the northern lights on Neptune.

The James Webb Space Telescope took new pictures of Neptune. These pictures show Neptune's auroras in great detail. We first saw hints of these auroras in 1989 with Voyager 2.

Webb's telescope saw the auroras in infrared light. This gives us clear proof that they are real. NASA shared these images and scientists wrote about them in a science journal.

Auroras happen when tiny charged things from space hit a planet's air. This makes light. On Earth, we usually see auroras near the North and South Poles as northern or southern lights.

Scientists have studied auroras on Saturn and Jupiter for a long time. But Neptune is very far away and hard to see. A scientist named James O'Donoghue said Neptune is hard to find.

Neptune's auroras are not near the poles like on Earth. This is because Neptune's magnetic field is different. The Webb telescope helped scientists see Neptune's auroras again after a long time.
