J1407b also known as a Super-Saturn. Possibly a brown dwarf with a massive ring system with planets forming in it. Now, latest updates on this object suggest that it is not tied to any star and most likely is not illuminated like this. But who knows, maybe somewhere there is a system like this.

Jupiter's powerful lightning storms most likely generate lots of transient luminous events. In this scene, during the early morning hour, as the rising sun lights up the top of a massive thunderstorm a lightning strike generates a gigantic jet, shooting high up in the atmosphere.

I am fascinated by a theory of tiny primordial black holes hitting solar system planets and moons, going through them as if they are barely there. This is my interpretation of such black hole piercing through our moon and emerging on the other side, leaving a small, unusual crater. #space #astronomy
