Hubble captures vivid auroras in Jupiter's atmosphere

Astronomers are using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study auroras -- stunning light shows in a planet's atmosphere -- on the poles of the largest planet in the Solar System, Jupiter. This observation programme is supported by measurements made by NASA's Juno spacecraft, currently on its way to Jupiter. Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System, is best known for its colourful storms, the most famous being the Great Red Spot. Now astronomers have focused on another beautiful feature of the planet, using the ultraviolet capabilities of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The extraordinary vivid glows shown in the new observations are known as auroras. They are created when high energy particles enter a planet's atmosphere near its magnetic poles and collide with atoms of gas. As well as producing beautiful images, this programme aims to determine how various components of Jupiter's auroras respond to different conditions in the solar wind , a stream of cha

Cliff Divers Plunge from Terrifying Heights in Copenhagen

The Cliff Diving World Series delivers a 92-foot drop that dwarfs Olympic diving. One by one, the divers perched on a platform stationed at the edge of the Copenhagen Opera House roof, nearly 92 feet above the water. Then they dove, somersaulting and twisting, into the harbor. Welcome to the Cliff Diving World Series, a vertiginous international competition with a drop about three times as high as the Olympic platform dive. Conditions in Copenhagen were not ideal. The 2016 Cliff Diving World Series had kicked off in Texas earlier this month before stopping in Denmark's capital city on June 18. The air was cold, the skies were overcast, and the wind was gusting at 34 mph when the men took to the platform, according to series organizer Red Bull. Over the course of two days, 14 men performed different dives for the judges. "It was tough conditions. It was cold," Englishman Gary Hunt told Red Bull. "But that's part of being a cliff diver -- you have to be ready to ad

How Dangerous Are Abortions For Women?

The philosophy of abortion is frequently discussed but health risks to the mother during the procedure aren't. How dangerous is an abortion? The U.S. Supreme Court recently issued a major decision striking down a Texas law that restricted abortion access in the state. A significant element of the Texas law argued that abortions are so dangerous that doctors need to have special hospital privileges to perform the procedure. But are abortions really that risky? Trace Dominguez checks the numbers in today's DNews report. Statistically speaking, the risks of early-term abortion as a medical procedure are roughly similar to plastic surgery, dental work or even running a marathon. According to a study from the medical journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, childbirth itself is 14 times more dangerous than abortion. Another study tracked emergency room visits in the six weeks after an abortion procedure and found that only 0.87 percent of women had emergency followup issues. In 170,000 pr
