Just like Earth, Jupiter is home to polar lights, driven by charged particles racing through the planet’s magnetic field. When these charged particles hit the atmosphere, they release electromagnetic radiation.

But a new threat has emerged as well, as journalist Patrick McGee illustrated in the Financial Times on Monday. In a very insightful piece, McGee pointed to... Read more â€ș
