☆ This animation shows why leap years are necessary. Without them, December would eventually drift into summer.

Leap Day is February 29. Without leap years, December would drift into summer in 400 years. We get a bonus day on Thursday — Leap Day, February 29 — to keep the seasons in check. O'Donoghue's animation reveals what would happen if we didn't have leap years — after 400 years, our calendar months would drift into new seasons. That extra quarter of a day, of course, adds up to one full day of drift every four years.

☆ On Pluto you could throw a baseball over the Great Pyramid of Giza, a scientist's animation reveals

An astronomer's animation reveals how far the average person could throw a ball on different worlds. On Pluto, your baseball could clear the Great Pyramid of Giza. Watch a ball throw on each planet in our solar system, plus Pluto and the moon, below. At just two-thirds the diameter of our moon, Pluto has such weak gravity that your baseball could clear the 455-foot-tall Great Pyramid of Giza — with room to spare. The video plays out in "real time," showing how long each ball throw would take, O'Donoghue said.
☆ Jupiter's aurora triggered a planet-wide heat wave, a map animation reveals, solving a mystery that's puzzled scientists

An astronomer's map of a heat wave on Jupiter helped solve the planet's "energy crisis" mystery. Solar plasma triggered an aurora at Jupiter's north pole, which sent a heat wave spilling down the planet. He's still studying the features of the heat wave, which he presented at the Europlanet Science Congress in September. O'Donoghue published his team's first research linking Jupiter's aurora to planet-wide heating in 2021. They think the aurora storm and resulting heat wave came from a surge of plasma from the sun.

☆ Side-by-side Jupiter images show James Webb's infrared prowess. It spots auroras, rings, and faint galaxies Hubble can't see clearly.

The Hubble Space Telescope has also taken Jupiter images, but Webb reveals details Hubble couldn't see. Often described as the successor to Hubble, Webb launched on December 25, 2021, after more than two decades of development. The James Webb Space Telescope image of Jupiter is on the right. Looking at Jupiter in infrared, Webb spots tiny moons Hubble can't pick out as easilyThe Hubble Space Telescope image of Jupiter, left, with its icy moon Europa.
