Abstract Aurorae on the outer planets have now been detected with ground-based and Earth-orbiting telescopes at far-UV, near-IR, and soft X-ray wavelengths. The best quality observations are of Jupiter, through a combination of very bright aurora and easy spatial discrimination. In this paper the multi-wavelength observations will be summarized from the perspective of studying the physical processes and regions of the atmosphere which the different wavelength regions reveal. Sufficient detail is now available in our studies of Jupiter's aurora to begin to draw specific comparisons with processes detected in the Earth's auroral zones, including ionospheric currents, atmospheric heating, and compositional changes.
