A delightful teaser shot from my friend who created The Haunted Railroad a few years ago. Looking very forward to seeing more from this otherworldly (assumption) display.

Strangeness On Jupiter
Astronomers are using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to study auroras —
stunning light shows in a planet's atmosphere — on the poles of the
largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. This observation program
is supported by measurements made by NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently
on its way to Jupiter.
Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is best known for
its colorful storms, the most famous being the Great Red Spot. Now
astronomers have focused on another beautiful feature of the planet,
using the ultraviolet capabilities of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
The extraordinary vivid glows shown in the new observations are known
as auroras. They are created when high-energy particles enter a
planet's atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms of
gas. As well as producing beautiful images, this program aims to
determine how various components of Jupiter's auroras respond to
different conditions in the solar wind, a stream of charged particles
ejected from the sun.
