✨🔭 New observations of #Ganymede 🌖reveal a surprising similarity between the #auroras 🌌 on the #SolarSystem's largest #moon and those on #Earth 🌍. A team of space physicists has obtained new results suggesting that the fundamental physical processes that generate auroras are common to different celestial bodies.
