An early look<\/a> at the view of Jupiter captured by NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, hinted at how precise and detailed our new view of the planet would be. But this week, NASA released another set of photos showing the cloud cover, rings, and moons of Jupiter in remarkable detail \u2014 and it was even better than scientists were hoping for. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe hadn\u2019t really expected it to be this good, to be honest,\u201d said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, professor emerita of the University of California, Berkeley, in a press release. \u201cIt\u2019s really remarkable that we can see details on Jupiter together with its rings, tiny satellites, and even galaxies in one image.\u201d<\/p>\n

The telescope uses a camera with three filters that translate infrared light into colors that the human eye can see. The filter mapped to red colors shows Jupiter\u2019s auroras, which shine off the planet\u2019s poles. Light reflected from deep clouds appears in blues. And the planet\u2019s weird atmospheric hazes<\/a> show up in a filter of green and yellow. The planet\u2019s famous Great Red Spot \u2014 an enormous storm bigger than Earth \u2014 is so bright that it appears white. The white streaks and spots are likely from reflected sunlight bouncing off particularly high-altitude clouds, NASA says. <\/p>\n

Zoomed-out images show the planet\u2019s faint rings and two moons, which scientists are analyzing to learn more about the planet. <\/p>\n

Taking the information from the JWST and translating it into processed, beautiful images was particularly difficult with Jupiter. The planet is much closer than more distant celestial objects and rotates comparatively quickly, said Judy Schmidt, a citizen scientist and the image processor for these new looks at the planet, in NASA\u2019s press release. Schmidt and others had to combine several images to get these pictures of the gas giant. <\/p>\n

With these new images, Jupiter joins<\/a> Stephan\u2019s Quintet (a cluster of five galaxies), exoplanet WASP-96 b, the Southern Ring Nebula, and a handful of other cosmic characters who have already gotten their <\/strong>close-up with the JWST. And they\u2019re just the start \u2014 there\u2019s so much more to explore, and more images are coming soon. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
