James Webb Telescope’s stunning image of Jupiter !

NASA scientists have also released new shots of the solar system’s biggest planet, describing the results as “quite incredible”.

The James Webb Telescope took the photos back in July, capturing unprecedented views of Jupiter’s northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms.

One wide-field picture is particularly dramatic, showing the faint rings around the planet, as well as two tiny moons against a glittering background of galaxies.

“We’ve never seen Jupiter like this. It’s all quite incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, who helped lead the observations.

“We hadn’t really expected it to be this good, to be honest,” she added in a statement.

The infrared images were artificially coloured in blue, white, green, yellow, and orange, according to the US-French research team, to make the features stand out.

hey king, dumb question, did you get your name from "Ad Astra" but specifically the choral piece arranged by Jacob Narverud? or was it just like, spur of the moment, like the name and saying and meaning? thanks :]

Hey! (:

I got my name because I love watching stars ✨ at night. Stargazing is therapeutic for me. Even when I’m going through difficult situations that leave me feeling broken or sad. I always look up and whisper “ad astra per aspera” (to the stars through hardships/difficulties). It gives me hope. Likewise, I’m fond of nebulae and space in general.

I looked up choral peace arranged by Jacob and it brought a smile to me face.

Thank you ｡･:*:･ﾟ★
