The detection of the Amalthea gossamer ring from the ground, in Galileo images and the direct dust measurements have allowed the determination of the particle size distribution, which appears to follow the same power law as the dust in the main ring with q=2 ± 0.5.
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 ...
For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 km with a density of 0.5 g/cm 3, its true mass would be only 1.12 × 10 19 kg.
Webb's new images of Jupiter showcase its auroras, rings, and extremely faint galaxies, which Hubble can't see. Side-by-side Jupiter images show James Webb's infrared prowess.

Just recently on the blog I posted a series of images of Jupiter taken by JWST, some of which showed Jupiter’s faint ring. I don’t think a lot of people know that all four giant planets in our ...
Jupiter's ring system was the third to be discovered, when it was first observed by the Voyager 1 probe in 1979, [11] and was observed more thoroughly by the Galileo orbiter in the 1990s. [12] Its four main parts are a faint thick torus known as the "halo"; a thin, relatively bright main ring; and two wide, faint "gossamer rings". [13]
The most detailed map of Jupiter in existence, according to Nasa. This picture well illustrates the rings of Jupiter, as well as the south pole (which I didn't know existed). It says on the Nasa page that it is the most detailed map of Jupiter ever made. It was constructed with images taken by Cassini, and appears in the article Jupiter. The ...
