Astronomers showed auroras on Uranus

Images were obtained with a telescope “Hubble”.

Thanks to the Hubble telescope, the specialists learned that the Aurora on Uranus is very similar to earth.

With the help of special probe to do two shots of this process.

A special probe Voyager 2 helped the Hubble telescope to obtain the necessary images where you can clearly see the Aurora. It is expressed by bright spots on the planet. All due to the fact that the electrified particles of the solar wind enter the magnetic field of Uranus and during the interaction with the atmosphere appears light. Until recently, experts knew very little about this process, although the lights on Jupiter and Saturn was able to learn much earlier.

For the first time physicists were able to learn about the bright light on the Uranium in 2011 with the help of Hubble. After that, the experts took photos of bright flashes, which could not previously capture. The magnetic poles managed to discover only now, as earlier they were hiding behind the Sun for 30 years.
