Aurora lights, Webb camera, Neptune action! For the first time, astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to capture bright auroral activity on Neptune. For many years, Neptune’s bright lights were the missing piece of the puzzle when it came to detecting auroras on the giant planets of our solar system.

Turns out, imaging the auroral activity on Neptune was only possible with Webb’s near-infrared sensitivity: https://webbtelescope.pub/424vcTI

This sky orb is not an edit, it’s the clearest picture of VENUS ! The Venus planet (infrared) looks like a chaotic dawn or sunset sky. Images: July 2024, Japanese Akatsuki space probe (for real, not from Naruto: Akatsuki means “DAWN”).
