The appearance of the planet Jupiter was created through a series of photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
–
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) from the US space agency, NASA, has shown new photos of Jupiter.
–
Thanks to the largest and most powerful space telescope in the world, the public will be able to witness a detailed but undisclosed view of the largest planet in the Milky Way.
–
The series of photos show auroras, major storms, satellites and planetary belts, which will provide scientists with a variety of clues to the planet’s content.
–
Auroras are visible at both the north and south poles of Jupiter.
–
The James Webb telescope, launched in late 2021, showed a variety of great photos.
–
Here are some of them:
–
the hurricane ‘it can devour the Earth‘

—
Two satellites and a faded belt appear to be orbiting Jupiter.
–
The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is a famous storm so large it can devour the Earth. The storm appears white as captured by the James Webb telescope.
–
Widely viewed, this photo shows Jupiter’s faded belt, which is a million times fainter than the planet. So you can also watch two small satellites, Amalthea and Adrastea.
–
“We have never seen Jupiter like this before. It is truly extraordinary,” said astronomer Imke de Pater of the University of California, USA, who was involved in the Jupiter photo shoot project.
–
“Honestly, I didn’t expect the result to be so good.” She added.
–
NASA explained that this photo of Jupiter is the result of the process of combining several photos.
–
James Webb is a $ 10 billion US-led international space mission with partners from the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency.
–
The mission was launched in December 2021 and is currently located approximately 1.6 million kilometers from Earth.

Super sharp sighting of the first cosmos
image source, NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI
—
SMACS 0723: The red light in this photo is a trail of light from the first galaxies in the Universe.
–
The James Webb Space Telescope released the first color photographs on July 12.
–
The photos are referred to as the appearance of the Universe through the sharpest and most detailed infrared to date. The sightings contain light from a number of galaxies that take billions of years to reach Earth.
–
The James Webb telescope, successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, offers a broad view of the cosmos.
–
Carina Nebula
image source, NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI
—
This photo reveals star formation and a number of individual stars in the Carina Nebula.
–
This photo, taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, reveals a cloud of gas and dust as well as individual stars in the Carina Nebula.
–
Carina is the largest and brightest nebula in space. Its location is up to 7,600 light years away from Earth.
–
A nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in which new stars are formed.
–

Near and mid-infrared photo of the South Ring captured by JWST.
–
The Southern Ring Nebula, or “Eight Explosion”, is a giant ball of gas and dust that expands and is illuminated by a dying star in the center.
–
As we age, stars change the way they produce energy and expel their outer layers. Then, when the star gets very hot again, it energizes all the matter it had previously repelled.
–
The southern ring is nearly half a light-year in diameter and is about 2,000 light-years from Earth.

The evolution of galaxies
image source, NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI
—
Stefan’s Quintet, a collection of five distant galaxies, is one of the color photographs captured by the James Webb telescope.
–
A new photo produced by the James Webb Space Telescope reveals “Stephan’s Quintet” in detail. “Stephan’s Quintet” is the first dense cluster of galaxies ever discovered.
–
According to NASA, the new image captures in detail how interacting galaxies trigger star formation within each galaxy and how gas within galaxies is disrupted.
–
This photo also shows the black hole-driven outflow to Stephan’s Quintet at a level of detail never seen before.
–
Five million light years from Earth
image source, NASA / ESA / CSA / STScI
—
The pink galaxy looks like a wheel.
–
The images of the Cartwheel galaxy captured by JWST reveal new details about the star formation and the black hole at the center of the galaxy.
–
It is located 500 million light years from Earth.
–
According to NASA, the images provide a new look at how the Cartwheel Galaxy has changed over billions of years.
–
The photos captured so far by the James Webb Telescope have been described by astronomers as “remarkable”. Scientists are now very excited and can’t wait to know what the telescope will capture next.
