The first auroras ever spotted outside the solar system have been discovered by researchers. The researchers have to say that what they have discovered is more powerful than any other auroras ever witnessed. The alien light is possibly 1 million times brighter than any on Earth.

Researchers have to say that chances are very good to soon discover auroras from distant exoplanets too. Auroras are known as the radiant displays of colors in the sky. On earth, they are known as the northern or southern lights and researchers have also tracked them on other planets with magnetic fields in the solar system.

Current in the magnetosphere of a planet triggers them. A planet's magnetic portion captures the shell of electrically charged particles. Then, electrons are forced to shower on the atmosphere. After they collide with the molecules within, they start reflecting light.

Astronomers examined a mysterious Jupiter-size object called LSR J1835+3259 to check the possibility of seeing auroras outside the solar system. The object analyzed by the researchers is located about 18.5 light-years from earth.

The object's mass makes it neither a planet nor a star. The researchers say LSR J1835+3259 is a brown dwarf and it won't be wrong to call it a failed star.

"All the magnetic activity we see on this object can be explained by powerful auroras. This indicates that auroral activity replaces solar-like coronal activity on brown dwarfs and smaller objects", Gregg Hallinan of the California Institute of Technology said in a release.
