00:00The gas giant Jupiter has shimmering auroras circling its poles,
00:05and new images from NASA's Juno mission are shining a light on these brilliant displays.
00:10In the auroras, a brief but intense period of brightening sometimes happens in the early morning.
00:16These are called dawn storms, and Juno's images offered a perspective of the storms that scientists had never seen before.
00:24Telescopes on Earth and the Hubble Telescope in space previously spotted Jupiter's dawn storms, but they only captured partial views.
00:33Juno's ultraviolet spectrograph was the first imager to peer down at dawn storms from overhead for eight hours at a time
00:40so that scientists could watch the storms as they formed and grew.
00:44They found that the dawn storms were born in darkness, forming on the planet's nighttime side as isolated glowing spots in auroras.
00:53As Jupiter rotates, the storms travel to the daytime side and glow even brighter, spewing up to thousands of gigawatts of ultraviolet light into space.
01:03And at their brightest, dawn storms produce at least ten times more energy than Jupiter's typical auroras do.
01:23So that it's time to attention that if we wanted to européens.
01:25I have such an idea for the new face to keep our star from using star of orange.
01:29Uhm?
01:31Hey Ooh, it's just gone tell from time to me
01:34See, make it more and see if we already do a great world.
01:36Hear the world lantern mirror.
01:37Close the proof and talk to your mind independent Bye серgi and see if we could.
01:39Follow the irm.
01:42See, Happy.
01:43Bye you.
01:44You.
01:45Bye.
01:46Bye.
01:48Bye bye.
