NASA Photographs Green Lightning on Jupiter

While passing over Jupiter's North Pole, NASA's Juno probe snapped a photo of a green lightning bolt erupting within a vortex in the planet's atmosphere. The remarkable image was actually captured by the spacecraft in December of 2020, though only came to light last week when the space agency showcased it on their website. According to NASA, Juno was "about 19,900 miles above Jupiter’s cloud tops" when the rather fortuitous shot was taken.
