New James Webb Space Telescope photos of Jupiter show stunning auroras, faint rings, and tiny moons

The most distant galaxies that have ever been seen have already been captured by the james wbb space telescope. In snapshots released by NASA on Monday, there are mind-blowing views of our own neighborhood.

The Great Red Spot, an enormous storm that has been swirling for centuries, can be seen in the images of Jupiter. Jupiter's thin rings made of dust particles from debris were spotted by the telescope, as well as visible Auroras at Jupiter's northern and southern poles. There are fuzzy spots in the background.

Imke de Pater, a planetary scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, said in a statement that they hadn't expected it to be this good. It's amazing that we can see Jupiter with its rings, satellites, and even a galaxies in a single image.

After more than two decades of development, the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope was launched. The $10 billion telescope has traveled more than 1 million miles from Earth and is now in a stable position. It is possible to see far into the past with the help of the invisible light that is invisible to the human eye.

The new Jupiter images were captured by the Near IR camera. The pictures were colored to make them stand out.

James O'Donoghue is a planetary scientist from the Japan Aeronautical Exploration Agency. There is an incredible detail of the turbulent atmosphere, as well as the rings encircling the planet, tiny moons and even some galaxies in the background.

Auroras aren't unique to Earth. According to NASA, Jupiter has the best Auroras in the Solar System. Jupiter's magnetic field is much stronger than Earth's.

An image of Jupiter was included in the raw data collected before its science operations began.

"These images of Jupiter demonstrate the full grasp of what we can see from the faintest, most distant observable galaxies to planets in our own Cosmic backyard that you can see with the naked eye from your actual backyard," said a scientist.
