Jupiter is glowing with lights and clouds in the sky.
The pictures were released by NASA. The images are from different parts of the globe. Jupiter's faint rings glow like a halo in some of the new images. The northern and southern lights are visible from the planet's north and south poles.
Imke de Pater, professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley, who co-led the observations of Jupiter, said in a statement that they had not 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.
The images come from NASA's newest space-based telescope, which has already astounded the world with its amazing images of far- flung galaxies. The European Space Agency and Canadian Space Agency are involved in the operation of the JWST. The photos of Jupiter are part of an observation effort led by de Pater.
The king of planets is Jupiter.
The images were captured by the Near-Infrared Camera on the telescope. The long wavelength is visible in red while the short wavelength is blue. The Great Red Spot, a storm so big it could destroy Earth, is white because of the reflected sunlight. There are dark lines that show a small cloud cover.
The Great Red Spot has high altitude hazes because of the brightness that indicates high altitude. The cloud tops of the convective storms are likely to be very high.
Auroras are created by particles from the sun interacting with Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The northern and southern poles of Jupiter can be seen with the new pictures.
The views were lined up by a citizen scientist who has been processing astronomy images for more than a decade. The data that comes in from telescopes like the JWST comes in the form of numbers, not pictures. The enormous planet does a complete rotation once every 10 hours, and so Jupiter's rapid rotation had to be accounted for bySchmidt. The gas giant is summed up by the result.
