American astronomers have released stunning new photos of Jupiter, the first taken by the powerful new James Webb Space Telescope from our solar system’s largest planet.
The infrared pictures taken at the end of July and then artificially colored provide, among other things, the best observations to date of the huge aurora that forms at the two poles of Jupiter. Also visible are the familiar Great Red Spot (a giant storm), other smaller storms, faint rings, and its two smaller moons, Amalthea and Adrasthea, about 200 and 20 kilometers in diameter respectively.
“We’ve never seen Jupiter like this before. It’s incredible. To be honest, we didn’t really expect the images to be this good,” said lead researcher Imke de Pater, professor of astronomy at the University of California-Berkeley.
