This is caused by Neptune’s unique magnetic field, which is tilted by 47 degrees from the planet’s rotation axis, according to the study. Since auroral activity is located around where a ...

That’s because Neptune has a wonky magnetic field that is tilted by 47 degrees from the planet’s spin axis. The new Webb observations also reveal why Neptune’s auroras have been invisible ...

Scientists observed and captured the first clear evidence of auroras on Neptune using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), ...

"Neptune was the missing piece of the puzzle when it came to detecting auroras on the giant planets," said the European Space ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully detected auroras on Neptune for the first time ever, finishing a job that NASA's Voyager 2 probe began decades ago.

The James Webb Space Telescope helped scientists confirm the celestial lights on one of the most mysterious planets in our solar system.

as they don't have the same axis tilt. Seasons can also have different lengths. Neptune's last autumn began in 1962 and ended in 2003. Brian Cox explains how the orbit of planets in the solar ...

The location of Neptune's auroral glow is the result the planet's magnetic field, which is tilted by 47 degrees from the planet’s rotation axis. Auroral activity occurs where a planet's magnetic ...

Unlike Earth’s, Neptune’s magnetic field is tilted 47 degrees from its rotation axis. Since auroral activity is based where the magnetic fields converge into the planet’s atmosphere ...

"This is because Neptune's magnetic field is seriously tilted from the planet's rotation axis (by 47 degrees!) and offset from the center of the planet (by half a planetary radius!)." The James ...
