Infrared image of Jupiter and its Moon

The first images of Jupiter and its “moon” were recorded, this Thursday, 14, by the space telescope James Webb. In one of the photos, the planet appears with different colors. Among the main ones is a red spot, which is seen, by means of infrared, as a white dot. According to experts, the slick is a storm that has the ability to engulf the Earth. The material was collected to test the telescope’s functions before scientific operations officially begin on Tuesday, the 12th. In the opportunity, James Webb tracked targets in the solar system and produced images and spectra with unprecedented detail. In addition to Jupiter, the telescope captured the moon called Europa. Experts believe that there may be an ocean below it. The moon is the target of the next mission of the Nasa.
