This animation shows the overlap of the field of view of Juno's Stellar Reference Unit (SRU) star camera (in yellow) and Juno's Microwave Radiometer (MWR) Antenna-1 beam (in red). The animation depicts Juno flying over Jupiter's North pole where the planet's massive northern aurora is located. Juno observes Jupiter's lightning using multiple instruments which detect lightning at different parts of its spectrum.
