The world's largest and most powerful space telescope has captured incredibly detailed photographs of Jupiter in infrared light, showcasing two moons, two rings and distant galaxies.
Captured in July and released by NASA on Monday, images from the James Webb Space Telescope showcase intricate swirls, rings and tiny satellites on the planet, thanks to the telescope's three-part infrared filters.
NASA said these photographs will help scientists glimpse further into the innerworkings of Jupiter. Researchers are already beginning to analyze the findings to get more insight into the largest planet in our solar system. "We hadn't really expected it to be this good, to be honest. It's really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites and even galaxies in one image," de Pater said in a statement.
"JWST's combination of images and spectra at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths will allow us to study the interplay of dynamics, chemistry and temperature structure in and above the Great Red Spot and the auroral regions," she said.
