Hi Cynthia! Yes, indeed they have. Because these planets' magnetic fields are weaker amore complex, though, the aurorae look a bit different, and not localized to the poles. Here are a few web sites. http://www.space.com/1527...elescope-photos.html http://www.windows2univer...sphere/N_aurora.html http://voyager.jpl.nasa.g...eptune_magnetic.html cheers Sarah

HI and guess what, big solar flare happened just a few hours ago, and it made some very cool radio bursts. You can hear audio recordings of them from spaceweather.com. It's very impressive!!!
