Astronomers operating the James Webb Space Telescope have been sharing dramatic close-up images of Jupiter. You can even see its rings. Jaw-dropping images of Jupiter from the James Webb Space ...
The world's newest and most powerful space telescope is showing Jupiter as never before, auroras and all Jupiter's auroras shine in new images from James Webb Space Telescope Skip to main content
A super Jupiter has been spotted around a neighboring star by the Webb Space Telescope — and it has a super orbit. The planet is roughly the same diameter as Jupiter, but with six times the mass ...
WASP-96b's spectrum was one of the images featured in the initial science release from the James Webb Space Telescope in July 2022. [4] The spectrum confirmed the presence of water, as well as providing evidence for "clouds and hazes" within the planet's atmosphere. [3] Prior to this discovery, WASP-96b was thought to be free of clouds. [5] [6]
The primary observation target is Jupiter itself, although limited images of some of Jupiter's moons have been taken and more are intended. [5] JunoCam successfully returned detailed images of Ganymede after Juno's flyby on June 7, 2021, [ 6 ] with further opportunities including planned flybys of Europa on September 29, 2022, and two of Io ...
Although the Webb's mirror diameter is 2.7 times larger than that of the Hubble Space Telescope, it produces images of comparable resolution because it observes in the longer-wavelength infrared spectrum. The longer the wavelength of the spectrum, the larger the information-gathering surface required (mirrors in the infrared spectrum or antenna ...
Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to newly detect a high-speed jet stream over the equator of Jupiter. Webb telescope spots never-before-seen feature in Jupiter’s atmosphere Skip ...
Researchers are hoping that Hubble's yearly monitoring of the planet—as an interplanetary weatherman—will reveal the shifting behavior of Jupiter's clouds. Hubble images should help unravel many of the planet's outstanding puzzles. This new Hubble image is part of that yearly study, called the Outer Planets Atmospheres Legacy program, or OPAL.
