Ever look at the Northern Sky late at night and see those weird Aurora? When it’s really dark and cold, I’m told they can dance like the wind. Why is that? The more we learn about this phenomenon, the stranger it seems. Galileo named the Northern Lights the Aurora Borealis and thought it was light reflected from the morning sky. What space travel has taught us is that these strange lights are actually caused by billions of electrons emitted from a solar storm. So they dance like the wind because they really are an electrical wind! And they are seen on most of the planets.

Now here is the part that is really amazing. These northern lights on Jupiter are blue. I kept looking at the images taken from the Hubble telescope and thinking that they reminded me of something. Then, what do you know? We find geodes and jellyfish that resemble Jupiter’s aurora. How much different can you get?

So there is absolutely no connection. Or there is. You make the call!
