Moons drive structure in Jupiter's aurorae: Like Earth, Jupiter has aurorae generated by energetic particles hitting its atmosphere. Those incoming particles can come from Jupiter's moons Io and Ganymede. Mura et al. used infrared observations from the Juno spacecraft to image the moon-generated aurorae. The pattern induced by Io showed an alternating series of spots, reminiscent of vortices, and sometimes split into two arcs. Aurorae related to Ganymede could also show a double structure. Although the cause of these unexpected features remains unknown, they may provide a way to examine how the moons produce energetic particles or how the particles propagate to Jupiter.
