| Rationale |
No free licensed or public domain alternatives known to exist to show Jupiter's strong, rapidly rotating magnetic field (light blue lines) generates strong electric fields in the space around the planet; charged particles (white dots), trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field, are continually being accelerated (gold particles) down into the atmosphere above the polar regions, so auroras are almost always active on Jupiter about 2005. |
