The James Webb Telescope Showed The Aurora Of Jupiter 

On Monday, NASA released two new images of Jupiter taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, showing the planet’s features in detail.

The James Webb Space Telescope took detailed photos of Jupiter. They show the northern lights at the poles, giant storms and winds.

“Honestly, we didn’t expect it to be this good. It’s really remarkable that we can see details of Jupiter along with its rings, tiny moons and even galaxies in one image,” said astronomer Imke de Pater, emeritus professor at the University of California  at Berkeley.

He led observations of Jupiter with Thierry Foucher, professor at the Paris Observatory, in an international collaboration under the Webb Early Release Science program.

As noted, the telescope received two images from the observatory’s near-infrared camera (NIRCam). It has three specialized infrared filters that show the details of the planet.

In the first photo, you can see a large bright spot – this is a giant storm that can swallow the entire Earth.

In the second photo, in addition to Jupiter, its satellites Amalthea and Adrastea, as well as cloud rings, are visible.
