Amazing! Can you imagine being in that storm? (Not that you could see the same thing as the photo because it was in UV. And you'd probably be dead :) )

Hubble‘s gonna outlive the JWST.

Only if we reboost it soon. NASA shot down a proposal to do so with the Dragon capsule.

But the success of JWST will certainly lead to more STs

This is a well known photoshopped image by NASA.

The aurora was added to the following photo, taken on April 21, 2014: https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140517.html

Yes, NASA released a composite to show where the body of the planet would be because it's not well illuminated in UV.

But here's a guide to show how the aurora animation can be made from real data taken by Hubble: https://www.planetarylightshow.com/aurora_processing.html

It’s poorly photoshopped too, imo. It looks like what it is - a composite of two disparate images, superimposed to give a sense of scale / positioning. Even if you could see in UV with the naked eye it would probably not look like this.

This image is more like a map that shows Russia and Alaska superimposed to compare relative size. It’s not realistic.
