Scientists observed and captured the first clear evidence of auroras on Neptune using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), marking a milestone in the study of the outer reaches of the solar system.

NASA's flagship James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first-ever images of auroral activity on Neptune, after years of tantalizing hints. The images in question of Neptune were captured by ...

Hammel and her colleagues used JWST’s NIRSpec, a powerful infrared imaging tool, to capture spectroscopic images of Neptune and analyse the different wavelengths of light emitted by the planet.

The idea that our Solar System is representative of other solar systems hasn't survived the age of exoplanet discovery.
