      At the moment I do but what I find out about Jupiter can help us understand the other planets in our Solar System that have northern and southern lights – this includes the Earth! Once we have more powerful telescopes we can even look at the northern and southern lights of planets that are outside of our Solar System! What I’m working on right now can help us find out if any of those other planets might have the right conditions for alien life.
