HST movie of Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora captured in support of Juno (14634 k25) od8k25jlq yt
This movie of Jupiter's ultraviolet aurora consists of successive images obtained with the STIS imaging spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The images were obtained in Time Tagged mode and each frame is a collection of UV photons accumulating for 30 seconds. The left panel is the corrected image with North upward. It is showing either the northern or the southern hemisphere of Jupiter. The right panel is the corresponding polar view fixed in System 3 coordinates (10-deg grid). Both views are background subtracted and Brightness is given in units of kiloRayleigh of H2 emission. HST-Universal Time in (mm/dd/yyyy mm:ss) format.
