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

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

Webb has filled in many gaps left by Voyager 2, the only spacecraft to visit the planet. In 2022, the telescope captured Neptune's ghostly rings and revealed a band of clouds around a known vortex at the planet's south pole for the first time.
