Massive Thunderstorms on Jupiter Could Change Its Colour and Appearance
Recent images of Jupiter reveal giant thunderstorms in the Southern Equatorial Belt. Reports suggest these storms, unleashing green lightning, could blend pale hues into the reddish-brown band, potentially causing it to vanish, as observed in prior events. Jupiter's storms remain visible for stargazers as it approaches Earth at its closest point.

NASA Rockets Create Artificial Clouds Under Northern Lights in Norway
On November 10, 2024, NASA conducted a rocket launch in Norway that resulted in swirling artificial clouds beneath the aurora borealis. The experiment aimed to study energy flow through Earth’s atmosphere and observe how gravity waves behave. The launch occurred from Andøya Space Center, located in the Arctic Circle, offering ideal conditions fo...
