On November 9, 1996 and again on April 2, 1997, the Galileo spacecraft's Solid State Imaging (SSI) camera targeted the northern auroral region of Jupiter. The 1996 images used a clear (broadband) filter, while the 1997 images used both the clear filter and five narrower filters over wavelengths ranging from violet to 968 nm. The filtered images imply that the visible auroral emission contains atomic hydrogen lines, although there is also a continuum component. Combined with the latest magnetic field models, the results imply that the particles that cause the aurora originate in Jupiter's equatorial plane ≡13 RJ from the center of the planet. The oval was brighter and wider in the 1996 images than in the 1997 images.
