"Jupiter Glow"

 




They call it "Jupiter Glow." Jupiter has an enormous, active magnetic field, and a spacewalk outside Jupiter Station sometimes make everything glow with a strange light.

Imagine your space station and astronauts pulsing with light like the aurora on Earth. Kinda cool.

Eric was helping John adjust a camera outside the station when he took a minute to float free and soak in the amazing sight.



(Note: I totally made up "Jupiter Glow," but check out Jupiter's magnetic and plasma environment here: https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/jupiter/magnetosphere)
