The James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have captured Neptune’s auroras for the first time, revealing the planet’s magnetic field.

Earth’s beautiful northern and southern lights are the result of auroras: when high-energy charged particles from the sun hit gases in our upper atmosphere, making them glow in brilliant colors as they release energy from the collision.

Experts are not sure why Neptune's auroras can be seen around the planet's "mid-latitudes," and not the north and south poles
