Dark planet with bright reddish bands going around it and auroras near the north pole. Stars in background.

#Auroras are common on planets in our solar system. Researchers in Ireland observed the rogue planet #SIMP0136, a super-Jupiter about 20 light-years away, using the #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope. They saw strong auroras in its atmosphere, too. 🔭

Brownish planet in space with parallel bands in its atmosphere and many stars in the background.

#SIMP0136 is an unusual object, called a #rogueplanet, about 20 light-years away and freely floating in space. New observations by NASA's Webb space telescope show its brightness variations are the result of a complex combination of atmospheric factors. 🌌🔭
