While Jupiter's main aurora has a great deal of hot materials, a snapshot showed a cold spot in Io's auroral footprint.

Using the Webb telescope, scientists discovered an unexpectedly cold, dense region within Io’s auroral footprint in Jupiter’s northern lights.

Never-before-seen temperature and ion density measurements reveal that the effect of Jupiter's moons on its aurora are more complicated than scientists thought.
