NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a rare image of green lightning inside a polar storm on Jupiter during a close flyby on December 30, 2020. Unlike Earth’s lightning, Jupiter’s forms in clouds made of ammonia and water, allowing electrical storms to occur at extremely cold, high altitudes. This discovery confirmed the existence of “shallow lightning”, revealing how alien weather truly is on gas giants. Cinematic visuals and audio generated with AI.
