    Thanks for your interest! In preparation for New Horizon's approach of Jupiter, Chandra took 5-hour exposures of Jupiter on February 8, 10, and 24th. In this new composite image, data from those separate Chandra's X-ray observations were combined, and then superimposed (in purple) on the latest image of Jupiter from the Hubble Space Telescope. Jupiter shows intense X-ray emission associated with auroras in its polar regions. Extended monitoring by Chandra showed that the auroral X-rays are caused by highly charged particles crashing into the atmosphere above Jupiter's poles.
