Giant news from Jupiter. Webb’s Jupiter Images Showcase Auroras, Hazes

Webb’s Jupiter Images

     Jupiter is the largest and most beautiful planet with giant storms, aurora, and high temperature and pressure. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has taken some new pictures of Jupiter. NASA says that the scientists who observe the planet Jupiter have received a lot of information about the internal life of Jupiter.

     They did not expect such a good result. Somehow this works out unexpectedly. With many details of Jupiter, they are able to capture its rings, small satellites, and even galaxies in one image. It's really great to work. De Pater led this Jupiter observation with Thierry Fouchet, a professor at the Paris Observatory. Webb is also an international mission led by NASA along with ESA (European Space Agency) and CSA (Canadian Space Agency). Webb has managed to take many beautiful and important photographs before.

     These images come from the observatory's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam), which has three special infrared filters that display details of the planet. Since infrared rays are invisible to the human eye, light is mapped to the visible spectrum. Generally, the longest wavelengths can be seen in red and the shortest wavelengths in blue.

     So you can see the auroras in this image. The north and south poles also show how the fog rotates. As you know, the red spots that are a big famous storm that can swallow the earth are white in these views. They appear that way because they reflect a lot of sunlight.

The two small moons Amalthea and Adrastea can be seen here.

     These photos are not taken directly from Webb. Simply put, it comes as raw data. So later, a photo is built with this data. Because Jupiter rotates so fast, it is very difficult to get data. Because when taking many pictures for one view, the pictures are very different from each other due to the frame rate.

I will post a detailed picture below. So let's wait for the next surprise from the James Webb telescope.
